Here is my problem.I have a RH 9 box that I also use as a router. My 
home network is comprised of 3 machines,192.168.0.5 - 6 - 10, the 
gateway for those is 192.168.0.1, the gateway for that one is my cox ip 
address.

  In the router I have 2 identical nics, Linksys is the brand.

  I can ping all of my boxes and from the boxes I can ping eth0 with the 
cox ip address, but I can not ping past that point. The nameservers I 
can't also
ping from any machine.

  What I did was I built up an old machine to replace my router so I can 
use it to experiment with. I hooked up the old box and gave it the same 
ip address as my router, that is when I lost all internet connectivity.

  I reconfigured the network settings, I even reinstalled RH 9, but I 
still  can't get out.

  Anyone can point me in the right direction? I red and re-read the 
Linux Networking how-to, but that only includes up to the 2.2 kernel, 
though I figured the basics are the same.

  Any pointers are appreciated.

  TIA
