    Hello,

    I have a Linux PC on an internal network which uses private addresses such as
    10.0.0.2 etc... for accessing computers internally. There is also a DSL router
    connected to an external network using DSL. I have statically assigned an IP
    address and netmask to the Linux PC and assigned the router's internal IP as
    the default gateway. However, I cannot access the external network from
    the Linux PC (despite the fact that this is working fine from other
    Windows computers). The only computers I can see from the Linux box
    are the other computers on the internal network which I can ping
    just fine, but no external ones.

    Any help with this would be sincerely appreciated,

    Thanks,

    Neil
