Thanks for your suggestion!
I have 8 IP addresses: ...56 to ...63
my netstat show only 3 entries.
One is for 0.0.0.0, correct gateway (my router - ...62) and flag UG
One shows localhost like yours (127...) with flag U
And one is an entry for the lowest of my IP addresses (...56) with 0.0.0.0
gateway and a ...248 mask and flag U.
I don't have anything with flag UH.

Mine's a DSL router and is located at ...62, so looks right.

I can ping myself by name or IP , but that's it. I can't get nslookup to
work and I can't ping anything else - even other machines on my own network.

What's "pump"?? I'm using a dhcp server, but i think it must be working
right, because it's got its own name and has the right data for nameservers
in resolv.conf. It could only get this from dhcp. (All m y other machines
get their info from the same dhcp server without a problem.)
It looks to me like I'm not processing the incoming packets for some reason.
Do I need to tell the machine who it is someplace?
Do I need to shut off the Mac's networking so it doesn't load at startup
before Linux starts up??
