Also, I realize you said "OR" but too much is better than not enough and since they produced slightly different output, Here is all of it: $ netstat -i Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth0 1500 0 113 0 0 0 78 0 0 0 BMRU eth1 1500 0 36 0 0 0 5 0 0 0 BMRU lo 16436 0 15546 0 0 0 15546 0 0 0 LRU $ netstat -r Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 default myrouter 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 default myrouter 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 $ route -vn Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 $ cat /proc/net/route Iface Destination Gateway Flags RefCnt Use Metric Mask MTU Window IRTT eth0 0001A8C0 00000000 0001 0 0 0 00FFFFFF 0 0 0 eth1 0001A8C0 00000000 0001 0 0 0 00FFFFFF 0 0 0 eth1 00000000 0101A8C0 0003 0 0 0 00000000 0 0 0 eth0 00000000 0101A8C0 0003 0 0 0 00000000 0 0 0 $ cat /etc/resolv.conf search ph.cox.net nameserver 204.127.203.135 nameserver 216.148.225.135 NOTE: the "search ph.cox.net" is from when I use the laptop at a different location. Just to reconfirm, this is following a powerup with the ethernet cable plugged an and the wireless turned on. At that point I was unable to access the internet (ping yahoo.com even failed). Interestingly after capturing this info, moving to this desktop to do the email, I went back to the laptop to try pinging the DNS server by IP address and found that worked and learned the traffic went over the wireless. I then tried pinging Yahoo.com again and it worked (also via the wireless). This is getting even wierder. -- Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else. - James M.
