Removed "nameserver 192.168.0.2" on comp B. I can ping my ISP as follows: clay@eric:~> ping -c 4 64.24.210.86 PING 64.24.210.86 (64.24.210.86) from 192.168.0.2 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 64.24.210.86: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.218 ms 64 bytes from 64.24.210.86: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.189 ms 64 bytes from 64.24.210.86: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.194 ms 64 bytes from 64.24.210.86: icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=0.193 ms --- 64.24.210.86 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% loss, time 2998ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.189/0.198/0.218/0.018 ms When I ping "yahoo.com" the connection just hangs until I do a ctrl-alt-c. the same when I ping 216.126.136.250. >From comp A I can ping 216.126.136.250 as follows: loran:/home/clay # ping -c 4 216.126.136.250 PING 216.126.136.250 (216.126.136.250) from 64.24.211.118 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 216.126.136.250: icmp_seq=1 ttl=251 time=249 ms 64 bytes from 216.126.136.250: icmp_seq=2 ttl=251 time=229 ms 64 bytes from 216.126.136.250: icmp_seq=3 ttl=251 time=229 ms 64 bytes from 216.126.136.250: icmp_seq=4 ttl=251 time=219 ms --- 216.126.136.250 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% loss, time 3039ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 219.989/232.416/249.785/10.825 ms Each time I try your suggestions it seems that I get different answers.
