Hi Jay! Your observation makes sense. If I do a "netstat -rn" with both eth0 (-> cable modem) and eth1 (-> LAN ) activated, I see that the default gateway is 10.0.0.1. When I run "ifdown eth1" which will inactivate the LAN NIC and run "netstat -rn" again I get this: destination: 68.187.12.0 gateway: 0.0.0.0 genmask: 255.255.252.0 flags: U MSS: 0 Window: 0 irtt: 0 Iface: eth0 I can ping the inet address assigned to eth0 by DHCP and can also ping 0.0.0.0. However, when I ping the ip address of one of the DNS servers (from /etc/resolv.conf) I get: Connect: Network is unreachable Same with any other IP on the outside. When I check the timestamp of /etc/resolv.conf it is equal to the PCs startup time. So, the cable modem is able to (re)recreate /etc/resolv.conf each time. What should the default gateway to my cable modem be (0.0.0.0 seems not to be correct) and where do I configure it? Thanks!
