OK, I've pulled out more hair than I can afford to on this one, so I'm
looking for someone to point out the obvious mistake I'm sure I've
overlooked.
Setup -- SuSE 10.2 server-to-be, IP address a.b.c.202, netmask
255.255.255.0, default gateway a.b.c.170
Router -- LAN address a.b.c.17, netmask 255.255.255.0
WAN address a.b.c.170, netmask 255.255.255.0
>From my server, I can ping the router's LAN address and browse it via
its admin Web tool, but I cannot ping the WAN address nor get out on
the Internet. Two Windoze PCs connected to the same router (with
the same default gateway) have no such problem -- they get out fine.
ifconfig -a has eth0 UP and RUNNING with the correct IP address and
netmask.
netstat -rn has this ...
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window I/F
a.b.c.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0

ifstatus-route Configure routes for interface eth0

169.254.0.0/16 scope link

1 of 2 configured routes for interface eth0 up
OK, what am I missing? I swear at one point I had this running but
installed some updates and it stopped. Oh yes -- I turned off IPv6.
Any/all input welcome!
