Hi,
What type of ping did you try ?
1) does "ping XXX.YYY.ZZZ.1" work ? (If no, paste here the output of
"ifconfig" command)
2) does "ping 209.85.135.99" work ? (If no, paste here the output of
"route -n" command) (This is a google ip)
3) does "ping www.google.fr" work ? (If no, paste here the output of
"cat /etc/resolv.conf" command)
Hope this helps
Christophe

I have a dell laptop on which I have just performed a basic install of
etch using netinstall, on which I installed xfce.
(I did have gnome, but I needed to repartition, so i decided to try xfce.)
The problem is now with my networking
At home, I use dhcp - no problem.
When I bring the laptop to work, I use fixed ip addressing.
I used to have a file which contained
ifconfig eth1 XXX.YYY.ZZZ.WWW netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw XXX.YYY.ZZZ.1
cat "seach <domain>" >> /etc/resolv.conf
cat "nameserver AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD" >> resolv.conf
which I would simply sudo when I get to work and I got my static ip
address networking to work.
This does not work now - I can't ping out.
When I run ifconfig at the command line, it gives me the correct ip
address, and tells me that it is up.
The /etc/network/interfaces file is
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
I did a very basic install – maybe something is missing.
any ideas?
John
