Kernel IP routing table
Destination	Gateway	Genmask		Flags	Metric	Ref	Use	Iface
192.168.1.0	0.0.0.0	255.255.255.0	U	0	0	0	eth0
169.254.0.0	0.0.0.0	255.255.0.0	U	1000	0	0	eth0
0.0.0.0		192.168.1.251	0.0.0.0	UG	100	0	0	eth0



Right looking at this I think we may be homing in on the problem.
the 169.254.0.0 seem very strange, I have no idea where that one came 
from, and it seems the only address routed to my gateway is 0.0.0.0.

If this is what the problem is, then the next question is, where on 
earth did it get these setting from, and how do I change them?

No. As I explained, I tried pinging the IP address of the mail server, 
which, worked on my 64 bit machine, but doesn't work on the 32 bit machine.

Looking at the output from route -n I'm now thinking it looks like a 
Gateway or routing problem, but what do I do about it. Any more suggestions?

Thanks.
