So your LAN is at _least_ as big as 131.174.116/22, huh? You can
configure this from the command line with,

# ifconfig <if> inet 131.174.118.146 netmask 255.255.252.0

Where '<if>' is the name of your interface. To now set the default
route to the gateway,

# route add default 131.174.116.7

And that should be it. Is there are reason you said earlier that you
did not want to do this from the rc-files?
