Hi Robert

resort your info:

> ipaddr=192.168.0.87
> netmask=255.255.255.0

ok you have a subset with 253(4) free ip-numbers.
allready fixed: network = ip & netmask (= 192.168.0.0)

> broadcast=192.168.1.255

broadcast is (on muLinux allways)
bc = ip | ~netmask (= 192.168.0.255)
your bc is not part of your subnet!

> gateway="192.168.0.72"
> network=192.168.1.0 ( this one confused me a little, I have tried to
> change this to 192.168.0.0 and it wont save it )

strange thing, who won't save? "setup -f network" ????
I just try it with your nubers and it saved, but don't work...

> nameserver="198.6.1.1"

realy, then it must be acessed allways by your gateway!

Realy no Idea, but try once again a clean setup. And allso ping as first
try the gateway by its direct address, when this works, ping to
nameserver
(and don't forget the route in 192.168.1.* clients) and at last ping
with names
resolved over your nameserver.

As last tip. Try to avoid "0" in Network-addresses, it's sometimes
special.
