[clue-tech] problems with NAT/router

[Angelo Bertolli]

I've always used DHCP before, but now I want to set a few of my machines
to a static IP address.  However, with two different routers, whenever I
set a static IP address I can reach any other machine on my network but
not the Internet.  I keep getting something that says "network
unreachable" whenever I try to ping a domain name.

Are there any tricks on these devices that I should know about that
allow them to NAT the static IP addresses?  I have no idea why they
wouldn't just do it automatically.
