Re: Default Gateway with Manual Setting



Is there a particular reason that you're manually configuring these two routes? The 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 route is implied by the subnet mask and so shouldn't be needed, and the 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 route is created by setting the default gateway box on the ipv4 settings page to the address of your gateway (192.168.0.12, in your case). Or am I missing something?

Apogolies if re-asked, I have searched the mailing-list archive to no avail.

I am running a new ubuntu install on a netbook (Eeepc surf), with wired &
wireless networking available, both domestic manually-configured networks (no
dhcp).  I have added Manual profiles to both wired & wireless.  I cannot get
the default gateway (192.168.0.12) to configure, however.

I add two routes in the route config panel; one for 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
(no gateway), and one for 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 (gateway 192.168.0.12).  Having left
the edit dialogue, and applied, there is no difference to the routing table as
displayed with route -n.  If I re-enter the routes edit panel, I find that
it's collapsed the routes into one, being 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 (gateway
192.168.0.12); but there's no hint of the gateway in the route config.

I have tried checking and unchecking the "use this connection only for
resources on its network" (I'm sure it should be unchecked, but I tried both);
it makes no difference.

I'm sure I'm being stupid, could somebody take pity and enlighten me as to
what I'm doing wrong?

I attach the relevant lines from /var/log/daemon.log (grep NetworkManager),
I've checked the one bug mentioned therein; that is related to publishing of
offline mode rather than setting of default gateways.

Thanks,
