[TriLUG] SuSE Neworking Issues

[Warren Weber]

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		
eth0
169.254.0.0	0.0.0.0	255.255.0.0	    U	0	0		
eth0
127.0.0.0	0.0.0.0	255.0.0.0	    U	0	0		lo
0.0.0.0	a.b.c.170	0.0.0.0	   UG	0	0		
eth0

/var/log/messages ...

ifstatus-route	Configure routes for interface eth0
			  default a.b.c.170 - -
			  169.254.0.0 - 255.255.0.0 eth0
			Active routes for interface eth0
			  a.b.c.0/24 proto kernel scope link src a.b.c.202
			  169.254.0.0/16 scope link
			  default via a.b.c.170
			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!
Warren
