With the impending demise of @home and transferrance to cox.net, I need to
reconfigure my gateway from a static ip to dhcp. I'm sure I'm missing
something here, so help would be appreciated.
the /etc/network/interfaces file reads as follows:
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
hostname: what @ home gave me
When I attempt to configure this, the following routing table appears:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric RefUse Iface
65.14.207.0 * 255.255.255.128 U 0 0 0 eth1
localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
output of ifconfig for eth1 is:
eth1`Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:33:D3:6E:C2
inet addr:65.14.207.xx Bcast:65.14.207.127 Mask:255.255.255.128

RX bytes:345152902 (329.1 Mib) TX bytes:25498371 (24.2 MiB)

There is no gateway in the routing table. How do I get one?
This is a woody box with kernel 2.2.20. If it makes a difference, I'm in
Hampton Roads, where the Network How-To says I need to pass the hostname
along. Cox's conversion page at
http://www.cox.com/Service/CoxAtHome/TCP%20IP%20setup.asp really offers no
help on this.
Thanks.
