I have posted the result of route -n earlier.  There is nothing
interesting there. 
]$ route -n

Not necessary.  'route -n' already tells me that 192.168.1.1 is my
gateway.

I figured you were. I didn't take offence -- it is the type of joke I
would have used.  But it was a good enough question that it made me go
and double check that the other two machines were working.  Besides,
Rogers has a habit of partially turning services off to work on them
without telling customers what it is doing.

Remember Kevin, I am getting ISP service.  Everything seems to be
boiling down to a NetworkManager problem.
