I had tested  with the above and 192.168.1.1 is the default route.. I have 
no problem going into the internet via the router on 192.168.1.1. I can ping 
both the public and local IP in LAN, but I am cannot ping the public IP from 
another network.

[root at samba ~]# netstat -r

[root at samba ~]# ip route

169.254.0.0/16 dev eth1  scope link
default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth1

The machine does not have a firewall yet, so i guess the public IP is not 
routed out, therefore unreachable.

How do I route the public IP out?

Thanks
