I agree. But I don't even know if this is what David was asking, as his mail is very short and terse. If you want a dual gateway system (ie. two DEFAULT routes) that your system balances between (like having two ISP's), then have a read of the Advanced-Routing-HOWTO. If however its just an internal lan (192.168.*.*) and the world at large on the other interface, then the 192.168.*.* interface shouldn't have a gateway entry at all. More explanation of what your trying to achieve might be of aid here, David. Kind Regards Crispin Wellington
