[wellylug] Problem accessing local URL with browser

[Roger Young]

Also.......

.....the local ethernet is configured

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:81:20:C2:61  
          inet addr:10.1.1.2  Bcast:10.1.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:19644 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:24160 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          RX bytes:12154506 (11.5 Mb)  TX bytes:2534247 (2.4 Mb)
          Interrupt:16 Base address:0x2000 

As well as "Port Forwarding" and "Filter" sections the ADSL 504G router
has a "Routing" section. I wonder if that should be reset?

#	Destination	Netmask	Gateway	Interface

2	10.0.0.0	255.0.0.0	10.1.1.1	eth-0	delete
