erm...  what do you think this giberish might mean ??  The man page
looks to be quite good but it means nothing to me.  Anyway, everything
in SuSE is done with YaST so what use is it ??

Anyway, I've run YaST as Alex suggested and netstat shows.....


result of netstat -r.....

SuSE box

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway   Genmask     Flags MSS Window irtt Iface

on the Debian box......

Destination    Gateway   Genmask     Flags  MSS Window   irtt Iface

127.0.0.0      *      255.0.0.0      U       0   0        0    lo

If I ping the gateway machine I get "unkown host".  If I ping
168.192.1.1 I get "Network is unreachable" (from the SuSE machine). 
If I ping 192.168.1.0 I get "network is unreachable".
