Hello, I have a laptop running shrike connected via ethernet to my desktop, which is connected to the internet via 56K dial up. The desktop can surf the internet just fine. The ethernet link between the two PCs is fine also: I can ping and ssh from both. I can't surf the net from the laptop, however. I've done this in the past, so I know (I think) the involved steps. My questions are: 1) I have the printed manuals here, but don't see a GUI way to add routes. What should I suggest to folks scared of the command line? redhat-config-??what?? 2) using route -n I see also: 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 where does this come from?
