I have linux in my lan. It can ping the other computers just fine, the other computers can ping the linux box just fine. All my other pcs which are windows machines are able to connect thru the net just fine, thru the default gateway.

My question is, How would I connect this linux Server Machine to connect thru the internet thru the Gateway? Although it pings the other machines just fine, It won't connect to the internet.

How would I configured this in a command line? How about if I am using a proxy?

thanks guys

Route manipulates the kernel’s IP routing tables. Its primary use is to set up static routes to specific hosts or networks via an interface after it has been configured with the ifconfig(8) program.

When the add or del options are used, route modifies the routing tables. Without these options, route displays the current contents of the routing tables.

(from the route man page).

Read up on the route and ifconfig man pages; that is what I think will solve your problem. BTW, you can quickly check to see what Linux thinks your default gateway is with the route -n command.

Also, you can try the GUI tools (depends on your distro) such as netconfig.

So there...you got some tools to use to figure it out.
