Here is the output of route:
# route

The ethernet is set with a static IP address, otherwise I suspect it
wouldn't have any address at all. wifi0 is a built-in Broadcom wifi card
that doesn't even work properly with Windoze.

But attempts to mount my samba shares give me:

mount error 113 = No route to host
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g.man mount.cifs)

I can't view my local server's web page, even.

But I do the magic command and all is good, I can mount my shares and
see my local web page.

# route add  -net 192.168.1.0/24 gw 192.168.2.1

I just added an alias to my .bashrc that will hopefully issue the
command and mount my network shares at one short command, but still, I
don't need to do this with opensuse or Windoze and my shares are mounted
as soon as I boot up.
