I'm booting with dhcp. I get assigned the ip address and netmask, but the default route to the gateway isn't set.

I can do it manually, but...

FWIW, xp is able to get the gateway info.

any suggestions?

Also, I've upgraded to dhclient 3.0.3-10

And /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.leases shows the gatway router:

lease {
  interface "eth0";
  fixed-address 192.168.2.3;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option dhcp-lease-time 4294967295;
  option routers 192.168.2.1;
  option dhcp-message-type 5;
  option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.2.1;
  option domain-name-servers 192.168.2.1;
.......

Are there any other interfaces on your system that start on boot?

If yes, you may have to specify that eth0 is to provide the default route.

Hope that helps...
