Hi. I set a default route for the hole system in /etc/sysconfig/network with: gateway=192.168.0.1 below the hostname line, then restarted the network service. But even now when I try and telnet to freeshell.org on port 23 I get the message: freeshell.org/telnet: Temporary failiar in name resolution. Why am I still getting this problem? I had it working last term, and I still can't get the 192.168.0.0 and 169.254.0.0 lines out of the table, but there is a default line below it. Cheers.

In short, static routes can be added in many ways. For complex multi-route solutions, routes can be added by using the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-<interfacename> file using: ADDRESSn=<network address> NETMASKn=<network mask> GATEWAYn=<gateway IP address> The "n" can be any integer number, but is expected to be monotonically increasing and counting starts from 0. If you only have one default route on the whole system, it can be specified in /etc/sysconfig/network using: GATEWAY=<IP Address> GATEWAYDEV=<Interface> <--- Optional interface to use for route Default routes per-interface can be specified in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interfacename> with: GATEWAY=<IP Address> Hope this helps, C. - -- Craig McLean http://fukka.co.uk craig@xxxxxxxxxxx Where the fun never starts Powered by FreeBSD, and GIN! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDxnfaMDDagS2VwJ4RAsSqAJ4rHixcfz1XWjsy41D3Km24vBwA9QCgy0YW FMj4vsM532W6l6WKxLeee5Y= =JjpV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
