Mike,
Your issue may be in regard to the interface specified.
I just answered another one of these, so I'll reuse some
of the text.
Your note shows this:
# route add default gw 192.168.4.1
Try this:
# route add default gw 192.168.4.1 hme0
---------------------------------------
To keep these settings for future use, try one of these:
1) You may want to add your 'route' command to
this file: /etc/rc.d/init.d/network
The 'route' command is the final line in
my '/etc/rc.d/init.d/network' file, for instance.
2) Optionally, you might edit the
'GATEWAY=' property in the
'/etc/sysconfig/network' file.
So:
Given that your IP address is
206.10.25.251 (spam.com's IP), for instance
"GATEWAY=206.10.25.1" would be the correct
entry for spam.com's default gateway.
---------------------------------------
I'm not much of a network geek, but this should
help, regardless.
