Thanks everyone! I fixed the local address with the eth0 now so thats all 
good. But my serial line only allows me to ping 192.168.2.2, the otherside 
is connected to a micropic web server and its address is 192.168.2.3. Thats 
when it returns, the ping: sendto: Network dropped connection on reset. Any 
ideas? How would i route it? Thanks once again guys, your all awesome.
