Originally in 6.2 (I think) I used to have one ethX that had the GATEWAY= line and used that to denote the gateway. Subsequently I had a problem where I had a more recent version and went to change the gateway in the ethX scripts and it was not there. I added the GATEWAY= line and it still didn't work. I ultimately found that there was a line in /etc/sysconfig/network for the gateway. I changed it and took the lines out of the ethX and it worked fine. I also found that the GUI tools were not making any changes to ethX for the gateway, but rather to just /etc/sysconfig/network so I abandoned using ethX.

Does "it is now stored" mean "it is now always supposed to be stored" in recent versions of Red Hat, and I didn't notice? Or does it mean "it's stored because we put it there in previous attempts at troubleshooting"? I've always been used to having a GATEWAY for each device, then adding (for example) "GATEWAYDEV=eth0" to /etc/sysconfig/network... -- Rodolfo J.
