Indeed I am using wireless, I use the wired connection at the office and both
of them were working just fine. I did the updates last night and zazzz, no
more routing. I can ping anyting on MY network numericaly, but I can not
ping anything beyond the router by name (no DNS being pased) or by address.
It looks to me like the machine is not picking up the gateway from DHCP.
I was looking at the routing and I see the first entry has the folloing (from
memory
route gw etc etc...
192.168.1.0 *
I figure that the gateway should be 192.168.1.1 which is the address of the
router.
