cant ping external website

[Donny George]

well i was on the 10th net all this time

and now what i did was that i changed it to the main internet and put a
cable directly frmo the router

and used the instruction


ifconfig eth0 132.230.139.65 broadcast 132.230.139.255 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 132.230.139.254


and now its working


but i still dont understand why this wouldnt work with  the 10th net as i
have other computers working with this


don
