Hi, Thanks for info. It's a Befsr41 router. I've got the Block WAN Request enabled so I guess my home network is set up with a firewall.
I'll try out your suggestion.

I've got one at home. (I'm not sure of the model. The ips look familar to what it's dhcp server was giving out.) It works just fine if I use dhcp. Try the following: -dhcpcd eth0 -ping 192.168.1.1 If that works just type "netconfig" and check the dhcp box.
