Are you a VM user? If so do you fit in James' post about PUT404? What is
your gateway running on (VM TCPIP, Linux Guest, Cisco hardware)?

Subject: Can't find default gateway during SLES 9 install


Almost there; I can ping my SLES 9 guest if I'm in its same segment. Per
the below, SLES 9 can't find the default gateway.



I know its there because I can ping it from a SLES 8 guest. But, looking
in my SLES 8 guest's /etc/sysconfig/network/ ifcfg-eth0 file, I don't
see the DG there either, hmm.



Also, doing a traceroute from a SLES 8 guest or a ping, it says
10.131.150.254 is the next hop.



Any thoughts and thank you!







Configuration for eth0 will be:

Full host name   : NVLNXT25.STATE.NV.US

IP address       : 10.131.150.125

Net mask         : 255.255.255.0

Broadcast address: 10.131.150.255

Gateway address  : 10.131.150.254

DNS IP address   : 10.131.11.24

DNS search domain: STATE.NV.US

MTU size         : 1500

Is this correct (Yes/No) ?

Do you want to ignore this error and continue anyway? (Yes/No)

your choice (0-10): 0
