Since you are running a private network, the gateway address is the IP address of the system on your network that has the connection to the outside world. If you have a cable modem router, it's address is probably 192.168.1.1. While you should use YaST to set the parameters, you can add a line to the routing table (as root): route add 0 gw 192.168.1.1 This will set up your default route. It is normally set up automatically on boot. If you have a static IP address on your system, then you must specify the default gateway. If you have a dynamic address, then dhcp should set it up for you. One caveat. I noticed on SuSE 8.2 on my laptop that when I used both my built-in ethernet connection and my wireless connection, I got a routing table as above, but this seems to be fixed in 9.0 although I now use profiles. - -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/8Dcw+wA+1cUGHqkRAmomAJ9r4p8hbGvtrecWDRAwDnErRkwIDACeKf6G On7+T6xLpcP8LHaKTHIrar4= =CLxo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
