had tomsrtbt running, followed directions and got stucked at pinging internet site.

what i did was i keyed this in after booting;

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.110 netmask 255.255.255.0

then this;

route add default gw 192.168.1.1

then this one for my nameserver;

echo "nameserver 154.11.128.59" >> /etc/resolv.conf

pinged yahoo.com, google.com, msn.com and it didnt work. i rebooted the box and did the whole process again using the secondary dns;

echo "nameserver 154.11.128.187" >> /etc/resolv.conf

that didnt work either. here's my routing table on the tomsrtbt;


Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   Metric  Ref     Use     Iface
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U       0       0       0       eth0
default         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0        UG      0       0       0       eth0



i tried nanobox linux to check if the eth0 is working and can see the internet and it's a success.
could anybody please tell me what am i doing wrong?
