Scott, Thanks for the analysis. Here's the output of "route -n" Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 The IP millie.mills.curran is 192.168.1.10. I'm inside a linksys firewall/router. I don't have an internal DNS server set up yet. I guess once I do I won't need the "-n" switch. (I've been playing with a DNS server config, but I haven't had the time to finish it up. It's a learning project.) Looking at the table above, and comparing it to one from work (running RedHat 6.0), I would think that the first entry should be something like: 192.168.1.10 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 I'm running RedHat 7.0 at home.

The hanging is because it's trying to do a DNS lookup on 192.168.1.1. running it with the -n switch will fix that. Could you paste the output of route -n to us? I'd like to see what ip address millie.mills.cu is. And include the output of 'ifconfig eth0' just so we have a complete picture.

My routing table definitely looks wrong to me:
route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 millie.mills.cu 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
And, "route" hangs for a while before printing the last line. My network response is fine.
Comments?
TIA, Bill
