Unable to set the default gateway.

[mohasin]

Hi All,

I am unable to set the default gateway from K Menu=>System Settings=>Network Settings.

After setting the gateway from the Network Settings, I am unable to ping to the gateways.

Also when I tried route -n, it shows a route entry in which the gateway is 0.0.0.0.

So the workaround as of now is that I am setting a default gateway everytime I boot into the system. To set the default gateway, do the following
route add default gw <gateway ip address>

Hi,

You should do like this :
kdesu kate /etc/network/interfaces
Add under the iface line corresponding the interface you want to change :
gateway <gateway ip>

Save it and type in konsole :
sudo ifdown <your interface>
sudo ifup <your interface>

Hope it helped.
