Are you saying that perhaps you have other hosts on your network use this same setup successfully? Correct. I have 4 other laptops on this AP that all have internet connectivity (2 winxp and 2 win2k pro). All configured with the gateway as 192.168.1.254 (the BS router) Any ping except to 192.168.1.12 (manually assigned) and 127.0.0.1 and localhost result in either "host is down" or a name resolve issue, ie cannot resolve host. Additionally EricBSD (manually assigned name to box) returns with a cannot resolve host as well. I will post the result of the below shortly. # ifconfig -a # netstat -rn # ping ip.of.linksys # ping ip.of.bellsouth # arp -a Steve Bertrand-2 wrote: > > erpa1119 wrote: >> Why would I change something that is known to function correctly? > > Pardon my ignorance...
