default route not set -- Why??
« on: January 17, 2004, 02:24:33 pm »
I am new to Zaurus but very familiar with minimal Linux distributions.

I go to \"Network & Sync\" and setup a new service \"USB-TCP/IP\"  with:

   IP Address:   192.168.129.201
   Subnet Mask:  255.255.255.255.0
   Broadcast:   192.168.129.255
   Gateway:   192.168.129.1

However, when I run a terminal session and look at the routing table
it only has the local network route and no default route!!

Why isn\'t the default route added ??
Specification of a Gateway address implies a default route.
What do I need to do to have it configured automatically?

It all works properly when I add the default route by hand.
(route add default gw 192.168.129.1)

I have an SL-550 with 2.38 ROM
