Two things to double check. Make sure your DHCP settings are picking up the default gateway and that your DNS server settings are correct. Either your box can't find its way out of your LAN, or your are not resolving host names. The "route" command will show you your default gateway. Make sure you have it set to your Linksys IP. Look in your /etc/resolv.conf for valid DNS server settings. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ We drive on this highway of fire Got spam?
