I have a new system that I'm setting up Debian 2.2 on. It's a dual boot and i have windows on the other side which at the moment recognizes the NIC, and can surf the net without a problem.
The linux side appears to recognize the NIC, assigns the IP and so forth. Netstat looks right. THe problem is I can't even ping the gateway. I'm unsure what I'm missing (may be something simple) so I'm fishing for ideas. (note: I'm behind a router, the other two machines I have run debian and both are able to get out). ifconfig eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HWAddr :mac address here> inet addr: 192.168.0.3 Bcast: 192.168.0.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric: 1 RX Packets and TX packets change when i try to ping or what not) Collisions: 0 txqueuelen: 100 Interupt 10 Base address: 0xa800 lo Link encap: Local loopback inet addr: 127.0.0.1 mask 255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK Running MTU: 3924 metrix:1 netstat -rn Dest GW Genmask Flags MSS Win irtt Iface 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 YG 0 0 0 eth0 (sorry about the formating there) This netstat -rn looks similar to the netstat -rn on another machine. The computer does seem to recognize the network card on bootup, and I can ping myself. I am unable to ping outside anything else. Any help would be much appreciated, this is pretty much the last step before I can get this computer into production and it's annoying as heck:) Thanks Jon [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===== "God, Root.
