Unable to connect to internet?

[alphaaa]

Hello guys,
I am having problem connecting internet. I have a ADSL
internet connection with 2Wire home portal. All of my other pc's are working fine. I used the following configuration for internet connection with my sparc station.
cat /etc/defaultrouter
172.16.0.1 #home portal IP
cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 172.16.0.1
cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: nis [NOTFOUND=return] files dns
Also, i'm unable to ping gateway 172.16.0.1.
Local network is working fine without any problem.
Any clue Thanks.

change your nsswitch.conf file to: dns files nis

I figured out the problme, netmask was not correctly set.
2wire home portal uses 255.255.0.0 netmask by default, however, sparc machine was configured for 255.255.255.0
After changing it to appropriate netmask it worked.
Thanks again for helping.
