RE: Default route problem
Thanks guys, boy do I feel like an idiot, I did as greg suggested (cd /etc, grep -r "192.168.55.8" *) and it said that it was in /etc/rc.conf So I have a look, ee /etc/rc.conf, NOT there! so I tried vi noticed that all the tildes weren't there on the left so I paged down and find all the sysinstall generated delta's after half a page or so of blank space(defaultrouter="192.168.55.8"). So a lesson for other idiots out there PAGE DOWN! Thanks guys for all your help, this is why I use BSD/Linux.

I have had some difficulties with machines with multiple NIC's and have in the past resorted to altering routing information via rc.local rather than rc.conf I am 99.% confident that rc.conf is the only place to specify your gateways unless you wanna hack everything via rc.local I get the picture with the reboots, there is one other thing you might try and that is to specify the default gateway as an interface rather than an IP address. eg:- route add default -interface tun0 this is what i did via rc.local and it hasn't missed a beat yet. I believe that rc.local runs after rc.conf and is executed line by line so in the worst case you could try route delete default route add default -interface vx0 HTH LukeK ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
RE: Default route problem
Hi Luke, thanks for the reply. I would have thought that rc.conf was the place to look, but maybe not the only place... Here is a copy of netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default192.168.55.8 UGSc10vx0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 02lo0 192.168.55 link#1 UC 10vx0 192.168.55.1 00:a0:24:b3:c9:b6 UHLW2 3840lo0 in the bootup display (not available from DMESG), it says it is adding a default route, just as if you were doing it manually. I know it is no problem to "route delete default" and this works fine, but all it takes is a reboot, and Im back to square one! The person I am building the gateway for is not un*x savvy, and he justs wants something that sits quietly in the corner. Sooner or later he will probably reboot... Thanks again.

Set the default route in rc.conf. You should have a line that looks like: defaultrouter=W.X.Y.Z where W.X.Y.Z is your gateway. -- greg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
