the linux machine (mine) (192.168.0.1)can ping the windows machine(192.168.0.2),
but i am having quite a time connecting to the internet. actually i can
connect to the internet, i just can't ping any internet server once connected.
my host name is erd.net (just some name i invented). isp in psn.net (dynamic
ips) the info on the eth0 is ip 192.168.0.1 nm 255.255.255.0, primary name +
domain is erd.net., alias is x. this is all i have configured (plus the win
and my machine in my etc/hosts). i am not sure if ip masq is compiled or
active..?.. what are these routes that you speak of?
