You can either edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network and add a GATEWAY=ipaddress or I am sure there is a place to set this with redhat-config-network gui interface. select one of the interfaces and add an entry for default route. this should add a GATEWAY= entry in the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth? with ? being the number of the interface. If your interface is setup with dhcp, a default gateway should be set automagically, HTH Bret
