Gateway disappears, can't connect to internet
okay, i've got a dell inspiron 8600 with an intel 2200bg wireless card built in, and it seems to have installed correctly. I'm using Fedora Core 3, and i get a response when i ping any machines on the local network, and i get a decent signal in KWiFiManager.
When i type in route, i get one entry, as follows:
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
The default gateway is set correctly in my network configuration, but the default route is not being added to my routing table. If I add it manually, it seems to disappear after a moment.
If I run:
route add default gw 192.168.0.1; ping (insert outside address)
i receive the first three or so packets correctly (ie they got out and back), but then I start receiving "ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable".
If I run:
route add default gw 192.168.0.1; route
I get two lines,
192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default speedtouch.lan 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
as expected.
However, if I then run route again, my default gw entry has disappeared.
Just to re-iterate, I have correctly set the default gateway under Applications... System Settings... Network. It is set for the correct interface (eth1) and all other interfaces (just eth0) are disabled.
Why does my default route keep disappearing?
