Ok, maybe it isn't my routing table.
Netstat -r returns -I left off col heads.
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
In the gui for eth0 the Gateway entry is 192.168.1.1 which is correct.
I don't seem to have a loop back entry.
Also if this helps, I am on a Static IP in my LAN at 192.168.1.51
As to my router, it passes traffic from a couple of Windoze boxes to the
Internet just fine; you're reading this email <grin/>. The Win boxes can
ping the Linux box and the Linux box can ping the windows boxes. What it
cannot do is ping an IP off the LAN nor say a name www.yahoo.com. I
don't think this is a DNS issue yet as like I said I can't ping IPs off
the LAN.
What am I missing here?
THANK YOU!
