Ubuntu wired connection missing default gateway
My 9.04 Ubuntu wired connection on my Dell Inspiron appears to be fine when I look at the configuration files and gui interfaces. It will ping my network fine and query dig successfully but no other services work. After I open a terminal and route -n shows no gateway
I added a gateway like below. sudo route add default gw xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (my route IP) Then all services work fine. What am I doing wrong? |
Hello rioguia,
I'm not familiar with ubuntu. But please post if you're using DHCP. Markus |
Sorry for the lack of specifics.
I am using a static IP for this wired connection directly to a Netgear router. |
Simply spoken, if you don't use DHCP there must be a configurationfile somewhere in your system where the gateway is specified. For example in Slackware there is a /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf with a line:
Code:
gateway="" Markus |
