Does: netstat -rn | grep default show your ISP's gateway? If not, try adding it by hand as root: route add default [IP address of gateway] Try it again, and see if you still get "No route to host". Also, are you trying to ping these servers by IP address or FQDN? If by FQDN, try by IP address and see if the result is any different. I am now blessing your keyboard... -- Saint Aardvark the Carpeted aardvark@saintaardvarkthecarpeted.com Because the plural of Anecdote is Myth.
