[lug] Automatically setting route on KRUD/FC3

[Elyse M. Grasso]

I just got broadband at home (finally). I'm using dhcp from a linksys router. 
My laptop worked fine until I turned on an old computer that had a dhcp 
server on it (so that I could disable the server). 

Since then my laptop's settings have gotten into a mode where I have to 
manually force the default route after I power up the machine. 

I tried running Redhat's network config tool to fix things, which was probably 
a mistake. (I hadn't tried it for a year or so because it always seems to 
break something in the network config.) 

Could someone using dhcp who doesn't have this problem post their ifcfg-etho 
and /etc/sysconfig/network files?

There is a line 
GATEWAYDEV=	# this is for setting default route

in my ifcfg-eth0 that I cannot find mentioned in any google results for ifcfg 
files, and I'm wondering if this may be part of the problem. 

Is there a good doc somewhere about all of the options for these files and how 
they are supposed to fit together.

Thanks
