8.6: I have connected to my host fine but I cannot connect to any hostsoutside my University or Network. How can I fix this?

This is a routing problem. Add a route to your default gateway using the command:

AmiTCP:bin/route add default your.default.gateways.number

140.174.153.10 is my default gateway. Ask your system administrator for this number. This command should be already in your startnet script if you have followed the Install procedure correctly.
