You are connecting your computer into a router, so does your ROUTER assign IP's with DHCP? If not, then you need to set up your gateway in /etc/conf.d/net and then restarting your eth0 by doing /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start (or restart). You can also set up eth0 with a DHCP setup in the same file. -- Louis C. Candell -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
