Hi Punky
I have attached the output from running the commands you recommended.
#ifconfig -a
#route -n.
I didn't know what you meant by the serial console so I googled it. Tommorow I
will try to get a cable and enable it and let you know.
Thanx again,
Matt

Hi Matt,
This is the exactly the same config I have in my office eveyday, it works for me
without problem. Can you show the
output of:
# ifconfig -a
# route -n
To further troubshoot you should have enable serial console in ALIX box in order
to see what happens.
Regards,
Punky
