If I get what you mean, the router deals with the ADSL connection. I plug directly into it (the Win PC gets its IC from there originally too), and it is a NAT router.
/sbin/ifconfig shows:
{eth0 not connected, skipped}
eth1 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:17:31:xx:xx:xx (end of MAC hidden
)

/sbin/route provides:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
The router has a poor gui, can't check if the default gateway is set.
I'm using DHCP, and the resolv.conf is empty. Though I have no idea what to put in it lol.
Thanks for reply
