Thanks in advance. make sure you have a default router declared in your /etc/sysconfig file... there probablly is a line that reads "defaultrouter=NO" you need to change the no to the name/ip address of your router that goes to the rest of internet... usally it will be x.x.x.1... hope this helps...
