I'm sorry, but I don't have enough information. Please give all of
the relevant details about your setup. What does "can't route through
the gateway" mean? What are you trying to do? What exactly happens
when you do it?

What are the results of these commands? Each one should get four
replies:

ping <default gateway address>
ping <DNS server address>
ping 66.93.87.2
ping -a 66.93.87.2
ping google.com

What are the contents of the computer's route table? You can write it
to a file with this command, then copy/paste it into your reply:

router print >route.txt

Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group
for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions
addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.
