Apologies if you saw this before; I posted it in the wrong newsgroup. I have a home LAN on network 192.168.2.0, with a server at 192.168.2.2, and various other laptops, iphones, etc on the LAN, eg I am currently on laptop 192.168.2.7 . There seem to be 3 places where gateways are specified: 1. In /etc/dhcpd.conf on the server, under "option routers"; 2. In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* on the client machines; 3. In /etc/network on these machines. I've read that the entries in ifcfg-* are ignored? I haven't actually given gateways in /etc/network anywhere. Perhaps I should? My server has address 192.168.2.2 on eth1, and address 192.168.1.2 on eth0, which is connected to my ADSL modem with address 192.168.1.254 . Now I'm wondering if I should give GATEWAY=192.168.2.2 or GATEWAY=192.168.1.254 on client machines? route -n on the server gives ------------------------------ Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.5.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 tun0 192.168.5.0 192.168.5.2 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 ------------------------------ I'm not sure how it found the (correct) default gateway 192.168.1.254 ? These questions arise because I tried changing my server to machine 192.168.1.5, connected to the modem. Everything worked fine on the new server, but I could not access the ethernet on other machines, even after modifying the route tables on these machines to have default gateway 192.168.2.5 (the new server). I tried both with NetworkManager and with the network service, but neither worked satisfactorily. I'm running shorewall, but there is no mention of 192.168.1.254 there.
