Gateway problem

Hello everyone,

Everytime I reboot my linux box (RH 8.0) I need
to set the Gateway manually "route add default gw 66.24.14.254"
I do have that in the network config file, but it doesn't work.

cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=zena
GATEWAY=66.24.14.254
NISDOMAIN=deepthroat

Any ideas?

Thanks,
SH

look in /var/log/messages and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

have you tried setting the GATEWAY=66.24.14.254 under the specific
interface in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX ?

GATEWAYDEV=ethX ... ?

Because of the way the ifup script and functions script work, it is
highly recommended that you use the graphical tool (neat or
redhat-config-network) to enter the networking info. It's not
necessary, but with profiles there are more files to be edited by hand
than you may be aware of ;-)

Also double check your /etc/nsswitch.conf just to make sure it's set
up properly for your nis service.

If you're using dhcp -- via a relay agent? -- the default route from
dhcp might supercede your static GW route depending on IP and
_netmask_. Your netmask/network the same on ethX and default GW
entry, aren't they?

The RH ref guide covers this stuff in two places -- ch3 and ch12:
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/...ual/ref-guide/
ch3 ref:
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/...UTDOWN-NETWORK
ch12 ref:
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/...rkscripts.html

Both the "hard" copy on your disk (?) and the url link are good to
have on hand -- I know from experience ;-)

I don't know if it would help to put a line in the file:
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes
You should have there the routes for your interfaces.

I added it the "route add .." line to /etc/rc.d/rc and it's working now.
