In my /etc/sysconfig file I have a default route set to the correct address. However, periodically netstat will not show a default route. Therefore, my system can't get to outside addresses that it doesn't have a specific static route for. Why does this happen? After I reboot, the default route appears to be there, but than it goes away mysteriously. Here is the output of my sysconfig file that pertains to defaultroute. # # Set to the list of route add lines for this host. You must have a # route_${static_routes} line for each static route listed here (unless # static_routes is set to "" - do NOT use ``NO'' to denote a lack of static # routes!). # #static_routes="foo multicast" #route_foo="woofo woofo-gw" #route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface 10.0.0.1" static_routes="" # Set to the host you'd like set as your default router, or NO for none. # This is the same as adding a ``default'' entry to static_routes. defaultrouter="204.7.172.129" # This is the routing daemon you want to use. Possible options are # currently NO (for none), `routed' and `gated'. Also see `routerflags' # for startup flags. router=routed # These are the flags you'd like to start the routing daemon with routerflags=-s # mrouted flags, or NO if you don't want to start mrouted. Needs kernel # options enabled before it will work. mrouted=NO Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Leslie --- Leslie Davisson CableData Telecommunications, Inc.
