Hi Mauricio, Thanks for your reply. I am new to Linux and am still learning. I looked up what IP route tables are on the net and I think you meant the /etc/iproute2/rt_tables which shows; 255 local 254 main 253 default 0 unspec I can ping both localhost and compname but can't reach on browser. Thanks, Regards, Raja.
