A good starting point may be taking a look at the kernel IP routing table -- that's what "route" is for. You probably want to use its "-n" switch to disable host name lookups. You want a route with destination 0.0.0.0, genmask 0.0.0.0 (means CIDR network 0/0, or "default" upstream) and gateway somewhere in the range 24.88.247.x (24.88.247/24), going through (iface) eth1. Without it, your system will not be able to talk to anything outside of your little corner of Road Runner's network. If you have such a route, then running traceroute (also with "-n") towards a known valid IP address should give you some clue as to where the problem is. You may also want to look at any iptables rule sets you may have; that's "iptables -L -n" (list, numerical). If you can connect to an IP address but not using a DNS name, that leaves just name resolution (/etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf under "hosts:", as I recall). - --=20 Michael Kj=C3=B6rling, michael@kjorling.com - http://michael.kjorling.com= / * ASCII Ribbon Campaign: Against HTML Mail, Proprietary Attachments * * .....
