SUSE10, KDE -- how do I determine what gateway and dns server values a dhcp client has picked up? In gnome, there is a handy little icon in the system tray ,,, ifconfig does not say, yast network card info only shows that dhcp is enabled for hostname, ipaddress, gateway and DNS servers. apparently the google in me is weak, as I can find the how to do this --- nowhere.

route -n should do it for you. Look for the entry with 'UG' within.

excellent .. that gives me the gateway. How about the dns server that it is picking up? Anyway to discover what that is? I'm kind of surprised there is no handy k-something util for displaying this info ... P

The DNS would be in /etc/resolv.conf That file either gets re-written when a DHCP address is picked up or it can be static if you've set it up that way.

cool -- didn't occur to me it would write that each time ... I think of that as being "static assignments". Thanx again, Bruce ...

If you are using dhclient, "cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases". This file tends to get rather long, as expired leases are kept in it for some time. If you are using dhcpcd, "cat /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-<iface>.info", where <iface> is the network interface, eg eth0, wlan0, etc.
