Using DHCP, can't remember Default GW


Hey all!

Got a funny problem, I have a Mandrake 10.1 computer here that runs on DHCP, everytime it reboots it looses the gateway and won't remember it. I have to do a route add command to get on the internet. I would rather have the gateway retrieved dynamically along with the IP address from the router.

The XP machine that is on the same router has no troubles getting the gateway.

Anythoughts?

Thanks,

David

DHCP should provide the default gateway IP with no problem. Anything in the logs?
