Run route -n and see what that shows.
I'll give that a shot the next time I can manage to take over the cable modem for a bit. > I found out when switching over from a static to a dynamic ip address from > my ISP, that getting the routing info and dns with dhcpcd from the dhcp > server is not the same thing as your running a script on your gatway box I'm using pump (which I've never used before), but here it was just that simple for to me to run dhcpcd when I tried something similar before. > to set up your NIC and routing information.

The ONLY thing I used the GUI tool for was to change the nic over from a static ip address to a dynamic one configured via dhcp. Bringing the nic online (etc.) was all attempted logged in as root to the console via ssh from my box. > Here is my network script that I have to run after I get my info from > the dhcp server.
