    Default gateway for internet connection

    I have installed eeebuntu NBR on my laptop and it looks great on a 17 inch widescreen It looks so different from the usual interface that I get people ask about it and I can evangalise without being considered a boring weirdo!!

    Anyway, I have one problem. Every time I boot I have to run the following command.

    Code:
    sudo /sbin/route add default gateway 192.168.0.1
    How do I get this to happen automatically (as it normally does)?

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

    this should get picked up automatically from a dhcp connection, I hope you are using static, or else you can't explicitly specify a gateway in your /etc/network/interfaces file

    It's DHCP.

    I rebooted my router and all seems to be well so I guess that was mucking me around.
