Hi William, 192.168.1.1 is the ip of my modem...should it also be used as my default gateway? My bbxm and host are connected via ethernet...directly. The bbxm does have on-board etherne On Thursday, April 17, 2014 10:56:31 AM UTC+5:30, William Hermans wrote: That gateway address should be

Ok, I am not sure what you're doing there, but those nameservers do not match your ifconfig output. Try commenting out all of those atleast temporarily by adding a pound sign in front of ech statement ( # ) andthen add . . . nameserver 192.168.1.1 Just for kicks what do you have in
