I've got defined the default gateway in drakconf, but when i start my
computer, the default gateway does not show up:


[root@localhost ~]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.6.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 10 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 10 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo

I've got to manually add the route so it appears and i can get my
computer on the network.

[root@localhost ~]# route add default gw 192.168.6.1 dev eth0
[root@localhost ~]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.6.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 10 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 10 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 192.168.6.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0


I've grepp'ed the gateway IP and it appears in /etc/sysconfig/network

[root@localhost etc]# grep -R 192.168.6.1 *
sysconfig/network:GATEWAY=192.168.6.1


How can i get this to show up correctly upon start. May it be a mandriva
2007 bug?

Nake sure ONBOOT is set to yes, and disable network hotplugging.

No it is a feature. gateway value has been moved into the interface
config files. It would seem the last nic up, sets the gateway. So,

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.2.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1 <======== sets gateway when
ONBOOT=yes <=========== eth0 comes up on boot
METRIC=10
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no
USERCTL=no
MS_DNS1=68.87.85.98 <======= gets into /etc/resolv.conf
MS_DNS2=68.87.69.146 <======= from these fields
RESOLV_MODS=yes
IPV6INIT=no
IPV6TO4INIT=no

changed the gateway value on this file and now it works.
i'll report mandriva that setting gateway on drakconf does not set the
value in this file.

Hmmm, so you have all your security/bugfix/updates installed?

OUCH!!! Then your system is woefully out of date!

Hopefully that was a typo ;-)
