[plug] routing

[John Knight]

Hi!

I've got a problem with routing, I can't quite seem to
be able to figure it out. My computer is a
SuSE 7.3 machine, my brother's using a Windows XP box.

My IP Address is 192.168.1.139, his computer's address is
192.168.1.140, we both have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Under Windows 98SE and and 2000, the routing works fine,
with the gateway settings put to default gateway, at
192.168.1.140.

The ISP, Cantech, has its DNS servers at:
203.26.6.1
203.26.6.6

These are the options I have in my networking
settings:

Network device: eth0

Static Address Setup

IP Address       Subnet mask
192.168.1.139    255.255.255.0

****Hostname and nameserver*****
Host name        Domain name
dorris            local

(the name server list and the domain search list are
both empty).

*****Route configuration*******

Default gateway
192.168.1.140

Routing table (Expert configuration)

Destination
203.26.6.1

Dummy/Gateway
192.168.1.140

Netmask
255.255.255.0

Device
eth0

---------------------------------------------------
I can communicate with and ping my brother's machine
fine, that has no worries. When I try to use
Konqueror, Mozilla or any other browser, it can't
find any pages. Are the setting all okay, and  if
they are, what other steps must I take in order to
browse the net?

I notice at startup, Linux gives the error:
route: netmask doesn't match the route address.
I just tried pinging 203.26.6.1 and got a reply,
so it's obviously working there, what else do I need
to do?

cheers all!
