[ale] Interenet connection

[Geoffrey]

What does your network look like?  Point is, if the machine you are 
trying to get to the internet from has another machine sitting between 
it and the internet, then you are dealing with two gateways as follows:

machine1 <-> machine2 <-> internet


machine1 should see machine2 as it's gateway.  machine2 should see your 
internet providers gateway.

Are you using two different subnets?

Here is my route output for my machine:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use 
Iface
172.16.255.0    *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
default         b.home.edu      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

The b.home.edu machine is the way my other machines get across my dmz. 
The routing for b.home.edu is:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use 
Iface
dmz-edu         *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
home-edu        *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
loopback        *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         a.dmz.edu       0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

Note the default route for this machine has the gateway identified as 
a.dmz.edu . That machine is the machine that is connected to my dsl.
