RE: Help with network configuration

["Hoover, Tony" <hoover sal ksu edu>]

root localhost:#  route add default gw 10.0.0.1  

(but of-course you would use the IP of your router, instead of 10.0.0.1 )

Hope this helps

I wound up deleting it. Could you give me the command to add a default

I'm comparing the output of route -n on my other computer running Red
Hat 6.2. I'm a total newbe regarding routing. I must add a book on the
