[ale] slack 2.2.26 Generic not talking to Netgear RT314

[David S. Jackson]

Well, I got this spiffy new Netgear RT314 for my new DSL
connection, but my Slackware 7.1 box doesn't want to talk to it.

I'm pretty certain my routing and arp tables are correct.

Here's netstat -r:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
localnet        *               255.255.255.0   U         0 0 0 eth0
loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U         0 0 0 lo
default         catbox.dsj.net  0.0.0.0         UG        0 0 0 eth0

Here's the arp table:

root at puddin /home/dsj> # arp -a
dixie.dsj.net (192.168.0.106) at 00:50:BA:6F:C6:7D [ether] on eth0
juno.dsj.net (192.168.0.105) at 00:40:05:E4:E8:42 [ether] on eth0
catbox.dsj.net (192.168.0.1) at 00:A0:C5:E4:DB:F8 [ether] on eth0
sylvester.dsj.net (192.168.0.10) at 00:A0:24:BF:41:F4 [ether] on eth0
peanut.dsj.net (192.168.0.103) at 00:60:97:6A:3A:79 [ether] on eth0
scee.dsj.net (192.168.0.101) at 00:A0:24:D1:2C:D6 [ether] on eth0

However, here's a sample traceroute output:


root at puddin /home/dsj> # traceroute peanut
traceroute to peanut.dsj.net (192.168.0.103), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  peanut.dsj.net (192.168.0.103)  1.909 ms  0.847 ms  0.793 ms
root at puddin /home/dsj> # traceroute scee
traceroute to scee.dsj.net (192.168.0.101), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  scee.dsj.net (192.168.0.101)  1.241 ms  0.615 ms  0.561 ms
root at puddin /home/dsj> # traceroute catbox
traceroute to catbox.dsj.net (192.168.0.1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  * * *
 2  * * *
 3  * * *
 4  * * *
 5  * * *
 6  * * *
 7  * * *
 Ad nauseum . . . . . 


In other words, puddin (the slackbox) can talk to every host on
the net except its gateway, which means it can't talk to the
Internet.  Any ideas on why this would be?  Any help?  

TIA!
