Your network number is 192.168.27, isn't it?

Just the same here... NO! "167" instead of "168"!!!!!

Due to 'netstat' output your IP address belongs to different network -
192.167.7 instead of 192.168.27. And you have no route for 192.167.7/24!
BTW, you can have empty /etc/networks file, as you're working with
standard C-class netmask.

Not only am I missing something obvious, I'm making lots of typos
in my post for help. I was typing in those numbers below, not
cut-and-pasting them (because I have a USB modem, and USB
support is next on my list for Linux, so I was posting from Win98 ...)

I meant to type "192.168.27.0" for the entry in /etc/networks,
and "192.168.27.1" for the value shown by "route".

I've checked and double-checked the entries, and all the entries seem
to match - I have 192.168.27 as the network prefix portion everywhere,
and 192.168.27.26 and 192.168.27.1 are the IP addresses I have used
everywhere ... but my network doesn't work.

(I should know better than to post late at night ...)

Regardless of the typos, I don't know what the deal is with the
/etc/networks file, as the one on my box is blank. If your net route
says:

Quote:> 192.168.27.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
instead of:
> localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

then it ought to work.

My advice is to lose the contents of /etc/networks and recycle
(ifdown/ifup) the interface; ifup should create the correct route.
