It should be through eth0 with what ever gateway address is provided by the ISP. This is why traffic for the Internet, that should g out eth0, is going out eth1. It looks like the default route was set the way it was in order to get to the 169.254.0.0 network through 192.168.1.12 instead of providing a proper route to that network. If this is the case, then what is needed instead is a route specificity for 169.254.0.0 using 192.168.1.12 as the gateway.

Hi Mikkel! Just wondering. The IP 169.254.0.0 looks a bit strange (I thought .0 was not allowed or represented some kind of broadcast. Also the address when "whois"ed references RFC 3330 and there I find it mentioned as: 169.254.0.0/16 - This is the "link local" block. It is allocated for communication between hosts on a single link. Hosts obtain these addresses by auto-configuration, such as when a DHCP server may not be found. My thinking when I saw it is that it is part of Zeroconf - which I simply do not understand. I would think that if he sets the network up by hand or by using DHCP on the local network from his mentioned machine the reference to 169.254.0.0/16 becomes moot. Thanks! Tod
