I do it in the /etc/conf.d/net.  "default gw 192.168.0.1" is the entry and it 
goes in fine.  however, the entry I have is "routes_eth0" not "route_eth0".

that's one of those things that you can stare at ALL day and ever see the 
missing "s". I usually call another admin over after 30 minutes of that sort 
of thing. :)

[gentoo-user] default gateway problem

[Thierry de Coulon]

Hello,

I had tried Gentoo two years ago and now I'm back after some time using a 
Debian derivate (is still my main system for the time being).

I spent quite a time emerging and compiling from a stage 2 and most things 
seem to work well. There are two little things that don't work just the way 
I'd like however and I could not figure out how to cure them so far:

- I have a Ti4200 Nvidia card. I compiled my kernel with genkernel --configure 
and (I think) did everything required to have framebuffer support but I can't 
get a splash screen to work. Well, that's not important so I go for a text 
boot, no problem, but I'd love to have a good information about 
framebuffers.... anyone know where I should look?

- my main problem was that, while my netwrok would start OK, the default 
gateway would not be set, I had to do it by hand. The informations I found 
were about /etc/conf.d/net but this file seems ok:

config_eth0=( "192.168.1.31 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
route_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.1.51" )

other sources talked from an /etc/conf.d/route , but that file does not exist 
and I have no clue as to its syntax.

What I did now was to add he following into local.start:

route add default gateway <IP>

But I think this is not the best way to do. Were should I put that default 
gateway information so that it works?

Thanks, that was it - I must have made a typo...
