Having been a while since I last set routes I've lost a step when setting the default gateway.
The routing table has both loopback and LAN routes. Now I need to set the default gateway and the kernel tells me there's a SIOCADDRT (address) error. In slackware's rc.inet1.conf interface configuration file the default gateway is set on 192.168.55.4. Using this command: route add default gw 192.168.55.4 returns the above error that the network is unreachable. The route man page example has a host name for the gateway and I've tried that, too, with the same result. What have I missed here? On a curious, somewhat related issue, while there's only one Ethernet port on the motherboard ifconfig sees it as eth1 rather than eth0.
