> Just rebooted linux and ran

/sbin/route -n
with the following display:
Destination        Gateway         Genmask                Flags     Metric
Ref    Use    iFace
192.168.1.4    0.0.0.0            255.255.255.255    UH        0

The netscape browser can now get access to the net, and I would guess I
can ping from the command line any IP address on the planet.
