Hello,

many thanks for your help.

The problem was already solved with the first answer I read
by Steve Bertrand,
...

> # route add default 192.168.2.1

Tanks also for your hint:

> Then, for name resolution:
>
> # echo "nameserver ip.of.isp.dns" >> /etc/resolv.conf


I'm also thankful for all the other replies to my question, of course;
always happy to learn something.


Regards,
Johannes-Maria
