My bad, the command are in /sbin/ directory, so you would try "/sbin/route". > But, in any case, here is what I get: > > For 'route -n': > Kernel IP routing table > Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface > 192.168.15.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 > 0.0.0.0 192.168.15.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 So your router's LAN address is 192.168.15.1. Is that correct? You can check this by opening your router's web configuration page. OR, you can also try on your wife's laptop (which IIRC runs Windows and works fine) and open a command prompt terminal and give the command "ipconfig" (or "ipconfig /all" for more details) and paste the output here. We will see if things are working right or not. > For 'ifconfig -a': > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:6A:23:86:A3 > inet addr:192.168.15.100 Bcast:192.168.15.255 You are on the same subnet as the router.

ADSL modems cannot have larger than 1492. But your router should take care of that. We will ignore this; this hasn't bothered me in my experience. > RX packets:12450 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:11713 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > RX bytes:11811320 (11.2 MiB) TX bytes:1723885 (1.6 MiB) > Interrupt:169 Base address:0xdc00 Looks fine, no hardware errors here. > > For 'cat /etc/resolv.conf': > search launchmodem.com > nameserver 192.168.1.254 I don't get this. Your nameserver is on a completely different subnet. Is should be 192.168.15.1 if I am not mistaken. This mistake can result in long delays in pages loading ... actually nothing should work. But browsing with ip addresses should work. In other works, this shouldn't work properly: $> ping yahoo.com but this should work as expected: $> ping 4.2.2.2 Try the following: Add these lines to this file (before the nameserver you already have): nameserver 192.168.15.1 nameserver 4.2.2.2 and try browsing again. ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
