Hi, It is in /etc/sysconfig/network. network is a file which can contain a gateway statement. If that file contains no gateway statement, check /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts for the file: ifcfg_eth0 or simmelar. that is the configuration file of the eth0 interface. That, i think can also contain a gateway statement. Specifiing a gateway is not Linux specific. On a windows machine one also has to do that. You can automate the assignment of these things by using dhcp. regards, Willem
