Hi misc!

I have a home router which is connected to a DSL line as its primary connection, with static IPs and the like. I have a secondary cable connection with a dynamic IP, and I have to use dhcp to get the IP for this link.

I have the following in my dhclient.conf:

send host-name "paladin";
supersede host-name "paladin";
supersede routers 212.208.87.225;
supersede domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1;
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address;

After boot, my routing table shows:

$ route -n show -inet

Then, I run dhclient.

$ sudo dhclient fxp2

All internet connectivity is lost.

$

I have to issue the following command to restore connectivity:

$ sudo route add default `cat /etc/mygate`
add net default: gateway 213.208.87.225
$

Can anyone offer any advice?

Cheers

James
