Hans, There can be only one default gateway (set up in yast2) but you may add static routes to specific networks or hosts. To change the default route either use yast2 or write a short script to delete and recreate it. Something like: route del default route add default gw 1.1.1.1 metric 1 Then add a link to it from a KDE icon on your backdrop. The script needs to be "SUID root" to work though (chmod 4755 script : chown root:root script). Alternatively su to root and run the script. Damian

Scripts can't be made SUID-root... well, they can be made, but they won't work set-SUID. In fact, this is a "limitation" of the Linux kernel: only true binary programs are allowed to be ran set-SUID.

You can not do it via YaST2 however it is possible read the following part http://www.lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
