Re: [luau] Network questions
Are you assigning the computers ip addresses that are in the same class as those being offered by your Linksys router? If your are setting the ip addresses manually, are you also setting the gateway to your Linksys router? If you have no route through your Linksys product, then you cannot reach your DNS. Try disabling dhcp on your router, and assign ip addys consistent with the settings you choose on the router. --scott On Tue, 2003-12-30 at 22:15, kilauea wrote: I have recently put a linksys router on my Road Runner cable modem and have two (linux of course) boxes connected.

RE: [luau] Network questions
Don't forget to try accessing a known web site by its IP address. If you can access a web site by its IP address then dhcp, is not the issue. I would assume your linksys product has some firewalling ability and may be blocking outgoing dns requests from the inside of your network...Usually this is not an issue but worth checking your linksys configuration. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.

Re: [luau] Network questions
Aloha All, Thanks to all for replies. I forgot to set the network gateway to the router. Editing /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 to read GATEWAY = 192.168.1.1 fixed it. Also, thanks for the tip on same subnet, that needed adjustment too. Happy New Year!
