This is a pretty basic question, but I'm no guru. I know that you should
define your gateway in one of the startup scripts, but where?
`route add default gateway`
Thanks,

man -s4 defaultrouter
/etc/init.d/inetinit is where this file gets read and the
route added. Hmmmm, thought: couldn't the defaultrouter
be configured in /etc/default/inetinit like tcp_strong_iss
is?

for example,
echo "192.168.1.1" > /etc/defaultrouter

Create a file, /etc/defaultrouter, and put in it the hostname you just
created in your /etc/hosts file. You can also put just the IP of the
default router in that file, but I prefer using this method over placing
the IP in the /etc/defaultrouter file as it gives me one place on my
systems to worry about IP's.
This will ensure your system will come up with your selection as a
default route but won't help the current session. This can be corrected
as follows (using the example information):
# route add default 192.168.10.1 1

echo IP_of_router >> /etc/defaultrouter (so the route will be added
automatically the next time you reboot) and do a "route add default
IP_of_router" (to avoid needing to reboot immediately).

1. Saves having to explain how to use route to a newbie.
2. Tests that the default route is properly set during a reboot. It's much
easier to reboot a system to test things during the installation phase.
3. Proves that the default route is automatically set during a reboot.
