Hi,
Ethernet Time!!!
You know in the install process where you are asked "do you just use loopback, or a real network"? If you say real network, you are prompted for the ethernet address, netmask, gateway, and p to p partner.
Is there a way of initiating this script on a running currently installed system? I looked all thru Yast, but didn't see it. I couldn't find an entry in rc.config for gateway address.
I messed it up once, and tried to recover by editing /etc/route.conf to no avail.
What I did was enter a gateway that didn't exist, and I tried to remove Default Gateway from route.conf; but it didn't fix the problem.
When I reinstalled, and left Gateway empty in the above mentioned script, it works fine.
I know that installation script does it correctly, so can I use it anytime after installation? If so, how?
Hi,
It seems you are right, there is no way to setup the default gateway once the system is installed, you have to edit /etc/route.conf to do this. Perhaps we should work on this.... :)
It should look like this:
# /etc/route.conf # local IP netmask interface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 eth0
# default gw default 192.168.0.1
Then run
/sbin/init.d/route stop ; /sbin/init.d/route start
and everything should be fine...
Ciao, BB

How about an interface to "/etc/defaultrouter" al la Sun? Easy to use, quick, hard to beat!
