Default Gateway using ifconfig
 

im trying to figure out how to set up the default gateway with ifconfig with a command similar to
ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.1.1
wich is to setup the ip address, any clues?

oh and by the way im using slackware 9, wich really doesnt matter since ifconfig is the same on all linux systems.

ifconfig is used to set an ip address to your interface:

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 for example.

To set a default gateway, you need to use the route command:

route add default gw 192.168.0.1 for example.

thanks!! Works
