I just installed Debian Linux 3.1 on an old computer, about to be turned into a server, but I am having truble accessing anything outside of my local network. I have no proboms pinging or accessing any of the other computers on my network, but when I try to ping my isp's DNS server, which I was able to do on one of my other computers with no probloms, it gets no response. I then tried afew other ip addresses outside my network, and none of them worked either. I descoverd this problom after trying to run an apt-get update. I checked my resolv.conf and it looked fine, but I don't know if this could even have anything to do with this problem. Has anyone else had this problom and know how to fix it?

How is your lan set up?
O.K. This is my setup.

sorry for the mess

Sorry to waste everyones time but it turns out the problom was that I was given incorect infromation on the avalible ip addresses that could be used. It works now.

Thanks for posting back. Have fun with your server.
