Given that the router runs a local DNS (caching) server, that should be |
| 14 |
alright. |

looks good. |

That doesn't matter. That 169.254.0.0 subnet is the Windows |
| 33 |
autoconfiguration range (when there's no DHCP server, but IP address |
| 34 |
gathering is set to "automatic") and the metric doesn't matter because |
| 35 |
you don't have concurrent routes. |

Unlikely, because in that case DHCP wouldn't work at all. |

Maybe the Belkin is blocking your pings? Maybe the Belkin is |
| 43 |
misconfigured and does not have Internet access? Maybe some firewall, |
| 44 |
either on the Belkin or on your Gentoo machine (you can check by |
| 45 |
issuing "iptables -vnL")? |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
You should also try to monitor traffic with tcpdump when issuing those |
| 48 |
test pings. BTW, you cannot ping "http://www.google.de" since that |
| 49 |
isn't a domain name but a URL. But you probably *did* ping the domain |
| 50 |
name, didn't you? |
