Re: Connecting i5 Express to Internet

["Rich Dotson" <richleedotson@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK.   I removed the host table entries and changed the next hop to the
IP address of the gateway.   I restarted TCP/IP.

Now I can ping DDMSONLINE.COM (this i5) and it work's OK.    I cannot
ping the i5 from my laptop (I get the message: Request timed out).
And if I try to ping another website from the i5 I get the messages:

Verifying connection to host system MICROSOFT.COM at address 207.46.232.182
No response from host within 1 seconds for connection verification 1,2,3,4,5

Anything else I'm missing?
