This looks okay, except for the broadcast address looks a little funny... Also, I have to say -- there is something very odd with the formatting of that output. Are you manually typing it in? Here's some of the output from ifconfig on one of my machines. Unless you fiddled with the broadcast address (or just mistyped it...) it should be automatically set to ((inet addr & Mask) | ~Mask), which yours definately isn't. eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:27:B4:1A:8A inet addr:10.1.0.101 Bcast:10.1.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 But, that doesn't really have too much to do with being able to ping the default gateway. > and route -n:: > Destination Gateway Genmask Flags > Metric Ref Use IFace > 24.218.224.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.248.0 > U 0 0 0 eth0 > 0.0.0.0 24.218.224.1 0.0.0.0 ^^^^^^^^^^^^ > UG 0 0 0 eth0 > > ping default gateway(66.31.248.1): ^^^^^^^^^^^ So, which is it? Why are you pinging something which is obviously not your default gateway? ttyl, -- Josh Huber | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
