can you ping 192.168.58.1 ?

Also, check your routing tables.

Not familiar with slackware, but such settings are generally in:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/eth*

After editing run [red]/etc/init.d/network restart[/red] or [red]/etc/init.d/networking restart[/red] (depending on distro).

You may also have to set gateway information using the route command.

Is ip_forwarding turned on to activate routing?

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding

1 is on, 0 is off. To turn it on:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding

There's probably a cleaner way to do this for slackware, but just putting that line into /etc/rc.local should be all thats needed, assuming that is the problem.
