The last route looks correct ... the wildcard might or might not be. Try and remove it and add a normal default route. Look up the "route" command if not familiar with the how. Just a comment, when ignoring the networking files in an operating system to do it yourself manually, dont be surprised if YOU have broken something. I usually do my own thing too as I am not impressed with the way gentoo handles its networking, though under openrc its better. BillK
