I am trying to set up a linux box on a t1 here at work. From the majick birch box there is a switch. From the switch there are My FD2 Box and Firewall Router to protect condomless lusers. Oh thing of note, I can get to the box from our network with any of the IPs I've set it to, but it cannot see the web, nor conversly.

Now, here is all the (I believe) info that you could need to help my lame arse out with.

I don't see that you have a default gateway/route anywhere...

Edited to add:
You also shouldn't assign 127.0.0.1 to eth0. That is going to cause you issues. 127.0.0.0/8 should only be assigned to your loopback adapter. Some services will let you specify which ip's/adapters they listen on/source from and some won't. Therefore you should assign your "main" IP (which is an arbitrary choice by you, of course) to the eth0 adapter.

Alright, I've set up ifcfg-lo and adjust the rest to reflect correctly. Now to add the gateway, I'm googling now.

Probably put it in /etc/sysconfig/network (disclaimer: I am not a Mandrake user, so that's just my best guess).

I had already figured it out Smile

Thanks though. You are correct btw, mandrake, as well as RH/Fedora. As this is a Fedora Core 2 box becuase Plesk doesn't yet support mandrake Wink

Um.. that might be a bad idea, at least not if you use a lot of hair spray.
