Re: missing gw in route -n



Try ping 8.8.8.8
It's a Google-run nameserver but it's handy to have an outside IP to ping if you're having trouble looking up names.  I use it as a second nameserver.

How do I do that without access to the net? Interesting question I think.

But now, I've nuked the netmask setting in favor of ending the address
line with a /24, and route now shows a gateway, But now it appears
dd-wrt is feeding wrong dns data to it. From this machine, a ping -c1
yahoo.com, yields a yahoo address of:
PING yahoo.com (98.137.246.8)

but on the rock64 gives
PING yahoo.com (72.30.35.10) 56(84) bytes of data.
>From rock64.coyote.den (192.168.71.2) icmp_seq=1 Destination Host
Unreachable

Which is correct? hell, even from this machine the yahoo.com address
seems randomized a bit, but it works. And I'm starting to run out of
hair.
