Re: problems with dhclient after upgrade to sarge

Hi David!

sorry for the mail i sent u in "private" ...

maybe (if u are in control of the dhcp-server) the default-gateway is
not set?

you can influence the routing table yourself. mine looks like that


Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref
Use Iface
192.168.102.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0         192.168.102.1   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0 0 eth0
     

you will definitely need the lower line which you can get with a command
like:
route set default gw [so.me.ip.ad.re.ss]
if you only have one interface. look up in "man route" if you need more
special setup.
but that route not found/network unreachable is _always_ a sign that the
routing doesn't work.

rather try pinging 66.102.9.104 than www.google.com in order to find
out if everything works.

good luck,
klaus
