There have been a few suggestions on what it could be. Try from the bottom up. ssh into the gateway machine. Is it is connected to the internet, try ip connectivity first ping from the gateway machine to the default gateway. try then pinging some other address say for example your isp's dns server, try to just use ip addresses so it will only test ip connectivity if you use names then dns gets involved. No guarantee that your isp's dns servers listen to ping, I like pinging google.com (64.233.167.99) I know they reply, if this is all working then next thing to try from the gateway machine is pinging names, this will test weather the dns is working, its a bit harder to watch, you will need tcpdump. looking at your route table I would suggest something like tcpduump -pni eth2 port 53 or host <insert the isps dns ip address here, the first one in the resolv.conf file> this will show you all the packets leaving via eth2 that are on port 53 (dns) or are destined or have come from you isp's dns server. if this is working from the gateway, try it from one of the remote machines, the tcpdump should be still run on the gateway machine Alex > > -- > Regards, Paul Csanyi > http://www.freewebs.com/csanyi-pal/index.htm > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
