network startup probs in gentoo linux.

[mcveigh]

I finally got around to reinstalling gentoo on my system this weekend, but I have network probs on startup.
eth0 starts up fine with the correct ipaddress. But the route is not there
I manually have to do "# /sbin/route add -net default gw 192.168.2.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1"
I know it's got to be something simple I'm forgetting.

did you set the default gateway in your /etc/conf.d/net file?

the line should look like (assuming this is your GW address

gateway="eth0/192.168.1.1"


that should do it
