I installed 6.1 on a PS3. It has a static address. I configured the
network settings using the provided GUI tools. The IP address and the
DNS settings were configured just fine this way.
However, the default gateway is a problem. I can't seem to be able to
configure it using the GUI network config application. Even if I do
indicate a default gateway, the system still doesn't have a default route.
I tried to configure it manually, using Red Hat / CentOS 5 as a model. I
put this in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
GATEWAY=192.168.XXX.1
(real address censored)
No luck. I even rebooted the system (excessive, I know, but I wanted to
remove all doubt) and still nothing.
Then I moved the same GATEWAY line to /etc/sysconfig/network
Still no luck.
I know I could just do a "route add -net default ..." in rc.local and
thus patch it up, but I want to know what is the "official" way to
define the default gateway on YDL 6.1, if it's different from the RH way.
