I cannot seem to find the router. I know that the ip addresses are correct, and I know the adapter is installed correctly because I can do a self ping (127.0.0.1). I also see the kernel recognizing the network adapter when I boot. Yet when I try to ping our router or anyone else on the network, I get an error saying network not reachable. I have two Microsoft PC's sitting right next to it that can see the network fine (same hub, etc). This is the first time I have networked a UNIX system, so I figure that there is something painfully obvious about what I am missing. Any suggestions? Sincerely, Greg Fichter gfichter@bridgenet-is.com
