My routing table definitely looks wrong to me:

Comments?
"Comments/" is a dangerous thing to write :-) The second line looks right to me. The first line then becomes suspect since you do not need a gateway (as in the G of UG) to the network you are part of. In turn, that default on the last line also makes me suspicious. To set up my default gateway, I type something like route add default gw 192.168.1.1 and I get a line in the route -n output that looks like 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 with no default in the first position but rather the more reasonable 0.0.0.0 which, with the rest of the line says to go to 192.168.1.1 for anything outside of the local network. The combination of these two features makes me wonder whether you are mistyping the route command to set up the GW line. When I get something like those two lines I get rid of them and reenter what I then hope to be :-) a more syntactically correct route command and then check route -n to see if I got it right. Hope this helps a bit. :-)
And, "route" hangs for a while before printing the last line.
I can't comment on that :-( doug -- Douglas R Waud 17 Lantern Lane, Shrewsbury, MA, 01545-2006 http://www.ummed.edu/pub/d/drw/
