Re: RH9 Server not setting gateway

[Ben Russo]

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=217.76.143.255
IPADDR=217.76.143.18
NETMASK=255.255.255.240
NETWORK=217.76.143.0
ONBOOT=yes
 

You have set your broadcast wrong.

On a 255.255.255.240 subnet there are only 16 addresses.
If your IP address is in the 16-31 range then the broadcast
is 31, not 255
Also, you can put the "GATEWAY=X.X.X.X"
line from network right into the ifcfg-eth0 file,
I don't know if that makes much difference, but on my
multi-homed clients I put the GATEWAY line in the ifcfg-ethX
file of the NIC that has the default route on it, and it works.
