Hi

IÂ´ve configured my DG in : /etc/sysconfig/network...
GATEWAY=x.x.x.x

We have rebooted the system and doing a netstat -rn the DG is not in the routes tables,,

Do you know something about it??

Thanks

see if have GATEWAY line
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?

adding default route would be

route add 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw x.x.x.x

oops -the line foe adding the default gateway
should be
route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw x.x.x.x

where default gateway is the default gateway of the nic that you wish to acees the whole world through

Yes,
route add default gw x.x.x.x dev eth0
if you have several eths
In this case in /etc/sysconfig/network
GATEWAY=x.x.x.x
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
Of course you're not on dhcp, where dhcp server sets gw on restarting network services.
