Newbie here... Machine not intended to be a router, just to have two interfaced, one to local lan, second to a cable modem. Both interfaces connected to networks which supply dhcp address. Both work.
Upon boot, both interfaces come up fine, but the default gateway gets set to my lan network. I want the default gateway to be via the cable modem, I don't want the traffic this machine will be generating to be going over my lan. It ignores /etc/mygate because both are dhcp. If I disconnect the lan wire, and run netstart again, the default gateway is set correctly to the cable modem, then reconnect the lan, and run netstart yet again the default gateway remains pointed to the cable modem as I want. So can anyone point me to the settings where the sequence of bringing up interfaces is controlled at boot time? Or am I just going to have to set default gateway after it is booted by something in rc.local?
