ok...i signed in as root and i did /bin/ping www.linuxquestions.org and it said Destination Host Unreachable. then i did /bin/ping 64.179.4.146 and it said the same thing. then i did /sbin/route -n. and it brought up alot of stuff.

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.104 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0

More Info

It says my DNS is 192.168.1.104 but it should be the router (192.168.1.1). I don't know how to change it.

It's all clear as mud to me...

What machine on your network is:
192.168.1.104

That is set as your sedault gateway. Try:
route del default
route add default gw 192.168.1.1

To change your dns settings edit:
/etc/resolv.conf

Will is it working now Terminator ?

I take it this particular comp is the only one that can't connect to the internet?

If it's got a static IP edit the file

/etc/sysconfig/network

and change the gateway to
192.168.1.1

restart the network

/etc/init.d/network restart


Said wrong file first time
