Hi:
I apologize for posting this thread both under the Installation and Networking forums. I realized that Networking was a more a ppropriate forum. Anyway, here is the problem:

I have been trying to setup a gateway for my network. The gateway computer is using RedHat 7.0. There are two more computers: one using RedHat 7.0 and a new one using RedHat 7.2.

RH 7.0 comes with netcfg, which allows to specify the IP address of the gateway (192.168.0.1). RH 7.2 has a different network configuration program that does not allow the user to enter that information. The RH 7.0 client computer can see the internet through the gateway without any problem. The RH 7.2 computer insists that the gateway IP is 192.168.0.254. How do I tell the RH 7.2 computer that the gateway IP address is 192.168.0.1?

Thanks for any suggestions.

as root type: "eth0 is the interface I picked, yours could be eth0 or eth1 depending on how many nic's you have installed"

route add default gw 192.168.0.1 eth0

route -n "this shows you the routing tables on linux"

Thanks for responding.

I tired that and, although it did work for the current session, once I rebooted it went back to the old gateway.

I also tried editing the file /etc/sysconfig/network. That did not work either.

The final solution was to execute /usr/sbin/setup. I guess RH 7.2 keep some networking information in non-standard files.



Just add that line to the end of the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.
