Description Benny Pedersen 2004-03-10 21:03:50 UTC

all linux installs i have worked with have allways have only one interface with flags ug, and it still works, so i belive i am right with this is a bug under installl of gentoo

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install from the live cd
2. get internet up as normal, all is working state
3. netstat -nr is showing two interfaces with are flaged ug

Actual Results:  
no dns hostname resolve

Expected Results:  
gentoo should resolve its own hostname and not use what the user configure in

echo "myhostname" > /etc/dnsdomain
echo "computename" > /etc/hostname

gentoo whas the first os i sav have this wroung, ther must ONLY be one interface
with is flaged ug !

is there a point of going by route out of localhost ?

From the installation-manual,

Now set up routing using route. Substitute ${GATEWAY} with your gateway IP address:

Code Listing 22: Using route

# route add default gw ${GATEWAY}
