Bridging Problem

Hi! i'm new here, but i've used linux for a long time. my question is this:

my server (Mandrake 9.1, i know its old) is set up as a bridge to my PS2. all is fine and dandy, except the server wont access the internet. this is odd because i can get online with the PS2 going through the server. i think it is a problem with linux not using the bridge as the internet device, but i am not sure on how to set that. the bridge/server can access the network just fine, and other network computers can access it, except the server can't access the internet. i am at a loss on how to fix this, and any help would be much appreciated! im sorry if this is posted alot, i searched and did not find anything.

Thank you!

try posting the output of iptables -L and route -n

well i dont have iptables installed. but the output of route -n is

Code:

Kernel IP routing table

Destination    Gateway        Genmask        Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

192.168.2.0    0.0.0.0        255.255.255.0  U    0      0        0 bridge

127.0.0.0      0.0.0.0        255.0.0.0      U    0      0        0 lo

it seems i dont have a gateway. how would i go out setting this? i tried ifconfig bridge gateway <ip of gateway> but that doesnt work. thank you again!

to add a default gw

route add default gw <ip of ur default gw>

try this without the <>

regards

worked like a charm! (wait, how often do charms ACTUALLY work?) thank you very much! now you guys can see my blog and Ace Of spades links in my signature!

chams work also if the charmer is good
so it was u in this case
