Can't ping router & DNS Problem

[GeForce]

Evening all, need a bit of help.

Running a debian box (192.168.1.50) on which I've set up eth0 and connected to the network. I can ping the debian box from other machines, and I can ping other machines from the debian box.

I cannot, however, ping the router (192.168.1.1).

In addition, I can't get DNS working, although this may be a result of the above problem.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,
Jon

ifconfig:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:00

Dunno if you've sorted this yet as it's 4 days gone now...

When you ping the router are you getting an unreachable error or just a timeout?

Can you ping the router if you obtain an IP using DHCP?
