Sorry, Michael, I am a little lost.

i changed the gateway entry in my /etc/network/interfaces file to be 192.168.25.5. Are you talking about something else? I am only trying to connect over the wired network from my laptop to the Internet, with a fixed IP. My interfaces file has the following (the comments are the old values):

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
iface eth0 inet static
      address 192.168.25.150
      netmask 255.255.255.0
      gateway 192.168.25.5
      dns-search ph.cox.net
      dns-nameservers 68.105.28.12 68.105.29.12 68.105.28.11 
      #gateway 192.168.25.1
      #dns-search tc.ph.cox.net
      #dns-nameservers 68.2.16.25 68.2.16.30

Thanks!

Did you update your default gateway to be .5 instead of .1 for the dhcp scope handing out to clients?  If your gateway is still pointing at .1, or your dhcp gateway is handing out .1 where your router/gateway is .5, that would do it.

I just received a new ASUS RT-N16 running dd-wrt from Flashrouters. I
replaced my aging Linksys BEFSX41. The only change I made was to the LAN
IP - the router comes setup with 192.168.1.1, and I changed it to
192.168.25.5 (my network is 192.168.25.xxx). I connected the new router
to Cox through my cable modem, got a new DHCP WAN IP and new dns
nameservers. I updated my
/etc/network/interfaces to reflect the new
dns nameservers,
dns-search (changed from tc.ph.cox.net <http://tc.ph.cox.net> to
ph.cox.net <http://ph.cox.net>), and

the gateway from 192.168.25.1 (old router) to 192.168.25.5 (new router)
(I use a fixed IP on the wired network, and DHCP for the wireless)

I can connect to the Internet using the wireless part of the new router,
but the wired part of the new router times out on access to the
Internet. I can ping all my local machines on the wired network. When I
ping google.com <http://google.com>, the error is ping: unknown host
google.com <http://google.com>, so I assume I cannot resolve any

Internet addresses.

Any suggestions on how to further troubleshoot/fix this problem?

Thanks, and Happy Good Friday to everyone!

Mark
