(I seem to remember the discussion earlier, but could not find it quickly in the archive). I just installed SuSE 8.2 on my laptop. I have both a built-in Ethernet port and a PCMCIA wireless. Somehow, the routing table is missing the default route when both interfaces are active. Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 /etc/sysconfig/network/routes 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth0 192.168.0.0 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 eth-pcmcia default 192.168.0.1 - - If I remove the wireless card, then the routing table returns to something normal. Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Conversely if I remove the wire, the default route shows correctly. Rhe system is confused because of two interfaces on the same subnet. In my case, I just wanted to set up the wireless. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
