I'm not familiar-enough with the other distros you mentioned to tell you where to look in them for the gateway, but it seems that 192.168.0.100 is either not the correct address (it's on your lan, but perhaps it isn't the gateway), or else it is indeed the gateway but something in its config is not letting your new system pass through. If I read your post correctly, the TP-Link modem sounds as if it should be the gateway (i.e. it is what stands between your LAN on 192.168.0 and everywhere else, including your other modem). The only config issue that springs to mind is that (perhaps) you set a static IP, but the TP-link modem maybe assigned that to a different machine. If 192.168.0.100 is the TP-Link modem, I suggest that first you connect to it and look at its logs or whatever else it offers, to see if your LFS machine showed up. Also, you could try running one of the other distros. In the old way, 'route -n' should show you the gateway (for 0.0.0.0), on the new way (like in lfs), 'ip route show' should show it in the "default via" line. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
