routes

[Steve Buehler]

Thank You.  I that of that but it didn't work.  Found out that there was 
not a default route at all and I set that to 172.16.1.1.  That in itself 
wasn't the only problem either.  I found that the broadcast was taking a 
default and needed to be 172.16.1.255.  The two things together fixed the 
problem.

Thanks
Steve
