The hang is probably just because your DNS server is unreachable. Use "netstat -rn" instead, or just rm /etc/resolv.conf. (It annoys me that traceroute and some versions of ping and telnet default to trying DNS lookups, when if there's a network problem the DNS server is probably not available) Manually adding the route ought to be fine. Can you ping your default gateway? Does 'ifconfig -a' show the correct settings? The default gateway must be on a directly-connected network of course, i.e. within the range of one of the subnets shown by 'ifconfig -a'. When you ping the default gateway, does the ARP cache get updated? (arp -an) HTH, Brian.
