When I get done dancing around the room because I finally found a post on CLUG that I can answer from my experience with the same thing, I'll give you my answer :) !!!!!!!!!
Can you post a route result please... [EMAIL PROTECTED] don]# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] don]# I found that I had to add a command to my ifup so that it would add a new default gw everytime the eth1 (wifi card) came up other wise the gw would be eth0 (the built in lan card) # route add default gw 192.168.1.1 I put that command in a file in the ifup.d folder under mdk10 HTH.
