Hi All, SL 6.5, 64 bit.
I had to manually configure a Tread Net TEW-638PAP as a wireless bridge yesterday. In the process, I had to change my default router (a.k.a. gateway) three times. (Networking too, but that worked.) The TEW-638PAP was hooked to my second Ethernet port (eth1). Problem, I had to reboot to get the new default route to stick. Now I know of two places I can put my default router: /etc/sysconfig/network <--- where I put it GATEWAY=192.168.10.100 and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 GATEWAY=192.168.10.100 I am using /etc/sysconfig/network and the "vi" method. To check my default router setting, I used "netstat -rn" and looked for the tags "UG". (It is at the bottom of the list.) To try to get the new default router setting to take, I used: service network restart; netstat -rn and ifdown eth1; ifup eth1; netstat -rn No joy with either method. Whatever gateway I had when I booted, was the one I was stuck with. Reboot was the only way to make the change. I even tried manually configuring it with "route". No joy there either. :'( What did I do wrong? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
