After a decade of dialup So Cal. Cox finally made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I've switched but can't connect on my Debian box. I've spent the last two weeks reading man pages, HOWTOs, searching the web and Deb user list archives but still don't get it. The setup is like so: cox cable-----NetGear router------------Windows box \----------Debian box
Windows has no problem but the Debian box can still only see the net via the phone modem and dialup. I've added DHCP via the dhclient package though since the router assigns the addresses 192.168.1.2 & 3 to the Debian and Windows boxes respectively I suspect I don't really need it. I can access the windows box through the router via smbclient. Even with IPtables that are ACCEPT, ACCEPT, ACCEPT, ... neither lynx or Firefox can access the inet though they can access the router. root@/deb40a:~> ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:38:DA:9F inet addr:192.168.1.2 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:2755 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1319 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:679139 (663.2 KiB) TX bytes:184119 (179.8 KiB) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x6500 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 ... root@/deb40a:~> route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 What am I missing? If some one with a setup similar to mine would show me their routing table I'd appreciate it as I'm stumped. Thanks, Mike -- Satisfied user of Linux since 1997.
