Hi,

just finnished installing Fedora Core 9. The machine is connected to a
LAN with IP 192.168.2.30 and GW 192.168.2.1. But after boot the machine
has no default GW.

a 'route -n' say:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0
eth0


I have to do a 'route add default gw 192.168.2.1' after boot.

I have some other machines with FC4 and I have never had any problems
with default gateway.

How can I tell this machine which default gw to use at boot without
having to add a script with the route add command?

/etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=obi-wan.mydomain.net
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1
IPV6_DEFAULTGW=

and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0: DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.2.255
HWADDR=00:1f:c6:be:4b:c3
IPADDR=192.168.2.30
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.2.0
ONBOOT=yes
DNS1=192.168.2.22
SEARCH="mydomain.net"
NM_CONTROLLED=

Try disabling NetworkManager. Early on in F9 NetworkManger was screwing
up when you used static IPs, I would have thought that it would be fixed
by now but maybe it hasn't been. I disabled it on all of my systems so I
don't know if the bug has been fixed or not.
