I dont quite agree here, thats the remote stn saying "no such file or
directory" Point lynx to your own index.html in /usr/lib/lynx.cfg to solve
this one.

Its /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 in slackware.
There are 2 possables in the file to look at, one under the
line/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}
the second near the bottom of the file;
# Uncomment these to set up your IP routing table.
/sbin/route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} eth0
if [ ! "$GATEWAY" = "" ]; then
/sbin/route add default gw ${GATEWAY} netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1
