This can be hit or miss, depending on whether you can find the proper section. Other distros put it in a slightly different location. /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient.leases lease { interface "eth1"; fixed-address 192.168.1.186; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option routers 192.168.1.1; option dhcp-lease-time 3600; option dhcp-message-type 5; option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1; option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.1.1; option domain-name "lan.example.org"; renew 3 2009/4/8 11:57:39; rebind 3 2009/4/8 12:21:03; expire 3 2009/4/8 12:28:33; } c) Or the "ip" command. $ ip route list default via 192.168.1.1 dev eth0 proto static (Guessing about IP addresses gets harder in a few years once IPv6 finally goes mainstream.)
