Use "route" to check for the DFG. > route shows 192.168.0.2 (the router) as the DFG. In s-c-n, the gateways are 192.168.0.2 & 192.168.0.1, in that order. > If you Bridge the DSL to function as a Modem Only it does not matter > that goes out the window.

Part of the problem is that these things come up so rarely I forget the details in between, so how do I set the GW & netmask by hand?
