[lug] Cant see internet using DSL

[Trey Beck]

thanks, calvin:

I checked the gateway device in /etc/sysconfig/network and found that it was
nothing (""), so i changed it to "eth0".
The gateway was 206.168.101.65, which should be correct.

When i go to ping outside the local network, I get a message like:

ping: sendto: Network is unreachable
ping: wrote 204.144.142.2 64 chars, ret:-1

and so on.

Thanks,
Trey

Trey -

What is your gateway device in file:
/etc/sysconfig/networks

Sounds like your system is trying to use the other
network card for the gateway device (eth1).  This
needs to be the ethX you are going to use.
