Here are some guess-worthies:
On a rh/fedora type system, look at the contents of
/var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-eth0.leases
(or whatever matches your device)
on ubuntu (& debian?) look for
/var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient.eth0.leases
The default route is normally determined by a line in there like
option routers 192.168.1.1
(or some such)
Amazing how looking in the right place can be so useful.
Although I was about to write and say something like "it doesn't look
at all like that on my Dell box, FC3". Then I realized that I
changed that system to have a fixed IP address, so it isn't
astonishing that the DHCP leases are dated 2005/05/23, and don't bear
any resemblance to the current situation.
Checking with the Thinkpad that does use DHCP I see reasonable
entries, although it is somewhat puzzling that there are two complete
sets each beginning
lease {
interface "eth0"
with all the same information except for slight differences in the time entries.
