Seems to me you are sharing the internet access with your lan from your computer. If that is the case did you use the share internet connection wizard found in MCC under Internet connection as I recall. If you are sharing the lan with your linux comp then you should show in the configuration of internet access that the gateway is your xxx.xxx.xxx.10 computer and DNS is something like 68.12.13.14 from the ISP . I believe this should show on all of the computers that want to access the internet. Hope this is clear and helps.

noop. I can`t ping outside my network, I think the problem is with my
gateway address, but is correctly defined in the Drakconnect.
I solved the problem concerning the PING in my LAN, by editing
/etc/hosts.allow and All: 192.168.147.0
I suppose the problem is with my gateway because when I use route -n
sends me this information..:
Destination Gateway
Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.5.66.0 0.0.0.0
255.255.255.0 u 0 0 0 eth1
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
u 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
0.0.0.0 u 0 0
0 eth1
I checked /etc/sysconfig/network
and the information is
Hostname uabc.com (my machine)
networking =yes
gateway=192.168.147.10 (the one defined in Drakcontrol)
gatewaydev=eth1
I`m getting close, I know ..or..I hope.
