OK, if I run ifconfig I got the same thing, but in lo, the inet address is the same that in eth0. Is that correct? > If that works, try pinging other machines on your network, using their > IP numbers; next try their names. I can ping my machine an doing telnet and ftp to it (with telnet and ftp I got _connection refused_ but I think it's OK because I've got no server running). But it doesn't work with the other machines in my network. So I can't make a query to my dns server. I have also been told to setup routing. If I type #route add default eth0" nothing changes. If I add it to /etc/init.d , nothing changed either. My init.d file looks like: ifconfig lo 192.168.13.1 (my gateway) route add -net 192.168.13.0 IPADDR=192.168.13.114 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.13.0 BROADCAST=192.168.13.255 GATEWAY=192.168.13.1 ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST} route add -net ${NETWORK} route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1 I have add to it the line route add default eth0, but it doesn't work either. Any other suggestions? Thank you. Jordi INGLADA
