sounds like a missing route, route -n will show you the actual routing table, which should be something like Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 193.154.142.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 116 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 4 lo 0.0.0.0 193.154.142.1 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 46 eth0 the kernel needs to know which ip-address of its default-gateway and over which interface that can be reached. /etc/init.d/network should add the appropriate routes when invoked via /etc/rcS.d/S40network. if that doesn´t help, do a ping -v to see where the unreachables come from, could be your host or some router on the way... &rw -- -- +++ EUnet/[EMAIL PROTECTED], 15.-17.2.'2k, Ebene02/Stand08 +++ ----- ___ - Robert Waldner EUnet/AT tech staff ---- / / / ___ ____ _/_ -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> RW960-RIPE --- /--- / / / / /___/ / --- ---EUnet EDV-DienstleistungsgesmbH--- -- /___ /___/ / / /___ /_ ---- Diefenbachgasse 35 A-1150 Wien - ----- Tel: +43 1 89933 Fax: +43 1 89933 533
