route del -net

this is it, everytime i connect to the net i have to dial up once, when i have established a connection with my isp, i then have to do a:

Code:

route del -net 0.0.0.0

if i dont do this i cant browse the net, after doing this i have to disconnect and reconnect, then i can surf away!

anyways up until now i have put up with doing it this way, but now i think its time to fix this up :P

anyone know how to make this permanent? (im using slackware8.1 )

if you could explain this little fix a bit to me (it would be much appreciated)

cheers

it looks like there's another interface that's set as the default gateway on your computer.

before you connect up, type...
/sbin/route -n

and look up 0.0.0.0 in the destination column, look at the interface column on that line.
And you'd have to stop that interface from being the default gateway.
I'm not sure where this is in slackware, in redhat it's in /etc/sysconfig/network or /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-...
