Hi All,
Hopefully you can help me out here..I am trying to add gateway IP in this file
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf

ROUTE_DESTINATION[0]="default"
ROUTE_MASK[0]=""
ROUTE_GATEWAY[0]="192.168.1.1"
ROUTE_COUNT[0]="1"
ROUTE_ARGS[0]=""

# /sbin/init.d/net stop
# /sbin/init.d/net start

Thanks ALL

What is/are the IP address/es on this system?

If you can't ping the gateway before you tell
the system that it is a gateway, then it
can't be much of a gateway, can it?

Potentially interesting:

netstat -rn

Here is my netstat -rn
# netstat -rn
Routing tables
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Interface Pmtu
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 lo0 4136
192.168.1.60 192.168.1.60 UH 0 lan0 4136
192.168.1.0 192.168.1.60 U 2 lan0 1500
127.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 U 0 lo0 0
default 192.168.1.1 UG 0 lan0 0

please try following command

#route add default 192.168.1.1 1


Good luck

Hi,

apart the ping behaviour to gateway which hangs, does the gateway do its work? I mean can you reach systems over the gateway from this machine?

Best regards,
Fabio

Hi,
The netstat -rn seems good. You have configure the default gateway as 192.168.1.1
If you don't ping it, perhaps you have a link/cable problem or maybe the port of the network switch is not configure on the same vlan of 192.168....

>>default 192.168.1.1 UG 0 lan0 0<<

netstat -rn -> command shows that you already setup "default Gateway"

if you can't ping the gateway -> next thing you check using -> traceroute command from Your server

# traceroute

check with "Network" Team
sometime it could be the "firewall" rule
ping may be blocked.

Hi,

You are configured good but as you said there seems to be a firewall (not from OS)that blocks you from PING.

Hi all,
Thanks for all your input what i did is
# traceroute 192.168.1.1
traceroute to 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 * * *
2 * * *
3 * * *
4 * * *
5 * * *
6 * * *
7 *#

So look like my firewall is block?? Can someone provide me some input..Thanks all again

(Is that a question. That's a question?)

Only you (and the psychics) know what network
hardware and software lie between your
(unidentified) server system and your
(unidentified) gateway system. With almost
exactly no useful information, what do you
expect anyone to tell you?
