Where else do I look to change this? (The dhcp(?) ip > >from the dial-up connection I'm on????) 192.168.30.21 is probably your gateway, or a host a few hops upstream. Since (I assume) your ethernet card is not configured with a 10.x.y.z address, you cannot ping the router directly. You have to (temporarily) change your IP address to be 10.0.0.2/255.0.0.0 or something similar in order to talk to the router. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ !seineew era sreenigne / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ tfosorciM \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
