Ok looks like you don't have your gateway set. You can do that be either editing the file that contains your gateway variable and restarting network services or

route add default gw <gw> dev <dev>

doing that command.

I type in: route add default gw 192.168.0.1 dev eth0 and it works fine. I am able to ping outside the network. But, after i log off and back on, I not able to ping outside the network. what file should I have to edit? I am running Redhat 7.1.

[genlee]

/etc/sysconfig/network
I am not sure on that but I think that is it.

Yes, that's right.
You should add the line that sets the GATEWAY variable. If there is no such line, it should read "GATEWAY=192.168.0.1".

Thanks works great. You said before if I type in hostname at the prompt, I get back Linux350. So i don't know why it takes so long for sendmail to start. Or how can i just delete it? Thanks.
