Even if your netmask is wrong you should still be able to ping the gateway
since it is on the same segment. Did you try that? If that does not work, is
this for DSL or cable? Some ISP's require authentication (Point to Point
over Ethernet) and then encapsulate the traffic.
Hope this helps

Subject: Re: Ethernet help
It was suggested that I try changing netmask to 255.255.255.0. Nothing
changed.
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR= 66.134.88.36
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY= 66.134.88.33
I then tried /sbin/ifconfig and got the following:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:01:04:F7:AB
inet adr:66.134.88.36 Bcast:66.134.88.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:10 carrier:0

lo Link encap:Local Loopback

RX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:10 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
Here is /sbin/route:
Kernal IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
66.134.88.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 66.134.88.33 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
There is no firewall.
thanks in advance for any help
