How to add a route table for eth1 and make it the default
 

I currently have two network cards, eth0 is for my private network for my thin clients and my wireless pci card is set up as eth1 in which i want this to be the gateway for my internet acccess. currnetly my route table looks like this below.




root@bangde ~]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.1.4 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
[root@bangde ~]#


as you see there is no gate way for eth1 it does not eeven show up, but it is confugured properly as i can see all the details in wifi tools area about it.

I would like to know how to add a route entry for eth1 and make that the default route.


Thank you.

You need to drop the existing default route:By hand: Set up a route to the gateway machine at your ISP end, then make this the default gateway:

Or you could turn on DHCP on eth1 (this is the easier option, as it also takes care of things like DNS for you).

Please explain in detail
 

I am currently using fedora 3

the information below

code:/sbin/route del default gw 192.168.


/sbin/route add -net gateway netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1
/sbin/route add default gw gateway




where do i edit this information, i am a newby at linux is there a config file for me to edit this or do i run a command in the termainl window. I am lost at what to do with your instructions. Your detail help would be greatly welcomed.

Thank you.

where is the routing-table saved? in which file?

i tried to find it using "find /etc -type f | xargs grep Destination" but no file returned?!

sorry i have it now! it's in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
