Gateway Configuration



With the impending demise of @home and transferrance to cox.net, I need to 
reconfigure my gateway from a static ip to dhcp.  I'm sure I'm missing 
something here, so help would be appreciated.

the /etc/network/interfaces file reads as follows:

iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
	address 192.168.1.3
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	network 192.168.1.0
	broadcast 192.168.1.255

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
	hostname:  what @ home gave me

When I attempt to configure this, the following routing table appears:

Destination  Gateway  Genmask            Flags   Metric RefUse Iface
65.14.207.0      *          255.255.255.128     U          0     0    0 eth1
localnet            *          255.255.255.0         U          0    0  0 eth0

output of ifconfig for eth1 is:

eth1`Link encap:Ethernet	HWaddr 00:40:33:D3:6E:C2
	inet addr:65.14.207.xx  Bcast:65.14.207.127  Mask:255.255.255.128
	UP BORADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
	RX packets:548330 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
	TX packets:256765 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
	collisions:4214 txqueuelen:100
	RX bytes:345152902 (329.1 Mib)  TX bytes:25498371 (24.2 MiB)
	Interrupt:5 Base address:0x6c00


There is no gateway in the routing table.  How do I get one?

This is a woody box with kernel 2.2.20.  If it makes a difference, I'm in 
Hampton Roads, where the Network How-To says I need to pass the hostname 
along.  Cox's conversion page at 
http://www.cox.com/Service/CoxAtHome/TCP%20IP%20setup.asp really offers no 
help on this.

Thanks.
