Hi! I usually use the wired network at home, in which everything gets configured automatically as soon as I attach the cable to my network card. However, when using the wireless network, I need to run # route add default -iface ipw0 This will give me a route to the gateway (10.0.0.1), and I can ping the gateway, as well as other machines on our local network. But if I try to connect to anything outside of 10/24, I get a "no route to host" error. If I manually add a route, with # route add x.y.z.t 10.0.0.1 I can connect to that host. If I change my default route to anything but "-iface ipw0" I cannot connect to the gateway (10.0.0.1). I cannot keep adding routes to all hosts I need to connect to. I've solved the problem for web usage, by running a proxy on another machine on the local network (that's reachable) What am I doing wrong? I don't think I have a thorough understanding of network routes. Svein Halvor
