I tried 'route add default gw 192.168.2.102' and got an new line in the response to route reading '0.0.0.0 192.168.2.102 etc' Next I tried 'route add -host 192.168.2.104 gw 192.168.2.102' and the the response to route was 'debian Cerberus.Zoo 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0' where debian is the hostname assigned when the Debian Live CD was built and I had edited /etc/hosts to associate the names with the IP addresses. I also edited /etc/resolv.conf to enter the IP address of a Verizion nameserver. The network is still unreachable although all the machines on the lan respond to pings. Could the problem be the IP address 169.254.122.180 is still assigned to eth0? I have been unable to remove this and it is always the first item in the output of ifconfig. It is now followed by an entry for eth0:0 which contains the 192.168.2.102 address. If the firewall sees 169.254.122.180 it will drop the message on the floor. > - -- > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFIWTBuu4tRirKTPYwRAqiRAJ4zwnPByjQjkydUAV+VhTKylO+s/wCdFXPT > H8BselapzUv71JdxBsvLOhw= > =hV56 > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a > subject of "unsubscribe".
