RE: Network Config Problems

["Jeremy Rodriguez" <jrod cmsmechanical com>]

I disagree with the ip_forwarding. You should only set this if you are
routing.
Are you able to ping the outside world? www.yahoo.com returns a ping.
What is your routing table look like?
 netstat -rn
Maybe the default route is not there?
also send the output of:
 ifconfig -a

Have you set ip forwarding? This is needed to allow connections through
the computer.
echo 1>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
