yep I have added one like so....
        # route add default gw A-gateway
        (I used an ip addr of a known gate way that another UNIX box is using
here at UTS)

now routes says....
        
        default A-gateway UG 0 0 0 eth0

Now however I can ping outside ip addresses so thats good. But cant do
so by their names.
The resolv.conf has the name servers in it so what do I have to restart
for the resolv.conf file to be read ? Then I should be able to ping by
name.
