Hi Using Crux 2.4 on a VMware 5.5.5 workstation and everything went fine with the installation, but I don´t realy understand why I can´t ping my local network i. ex 172.1.244.1 (def route) I get the ip via dhcp from a w2003 machine . Since I have crux 2.2 and 2.3 before I just wondering if there is anything changed in the /etc/rc.d/net or somewhere else because with 2.2 and 2.3 no problems at all with VMware and Crux J Btw. I use Bridged Ethernet (Vmware) Output from /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info IPADDR='172.1.245.54' NETMASK='255.255.254.0' BROADCAST='172.1.245.255' ROUTES='' GATEWAYS='172.1.244.1' DNSDOMAIN=' OUR DOMAIN' DNSSERVERS='172.1.244.100' DHCPSID='172.1.244.100' LEASEDFROM='1201702940' LEASETIME='172740' RENEWALTIME='86370' REBINDTIME='151147' INTERFACE='eth0' CLASSID='dhcpcd 3.1.8' CLIENTID='ff:65:74:68:30:00:01:00:01:0f:15:fa:b0:00:0c:29:60:02:ff' DHCPCHADDR='00:0c:29:60:02:ff' route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 172.1.244.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.254.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 172.1.244.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 NO firewall on CRUX installed I have tried everything , so maybe I can get some help from here Regards /J
