Just adjust /etc/network/interfaces and you should be all set, either make the netmask /24, (255.255.255.0) and remove the "network" and "broadcast" lines (advisable from the looks of things) or dig deeper to find out why you set such a small netmask to begin with and what _should_ be your gateway. hth, jereme -- +--------------------------------------------------------------+ Jereme Corrado <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> System Administrator Restorative Management Corp.
