Well, that is a necessary evil, so, yes, that is the first step, to configure it. But, I'll take up that configuration elsewhere, as that's not a CentOS issue per se. Right now, I only want to know what to set the gateway to, as that is somewhat of a CentOS issue (regarding how it's set anyway). When my Centos laptop (192.168.1.3) is connected wirelessly to my home network (192.168.1.x), on wlan0, the following is seen on Centos: $ ifconfig wlan0 => wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 0A:2B:DC:7D:8E:AF => inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 => etc. The gateway is apparently set to the home broadband router IP address (192.168.1.1): $ route -n => Kernel IP routing table => Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface => 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0 => 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 Where the gateway is 192.168.1.1 and it's up (U) and it's a gateway (G). This command confirms the current gateway, when acting through wlan0, is 192.168.1.1 (which is the Netgear N600 broadband router): $ route (or netstat -r): => Kernel IP routing table => Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface => 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan0 => default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan0 I think this shows similar information: $ ip route show => 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.3 metric 2 => default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 proto static And, I must have edited the gateway in the past, because of this comment: $ cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=rock #GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 Given that the Centos Network Manager requires a gateway in its GUI, I'm wondering if I should use a gateway of the Nanobridge M2 (192.168.1.20) or a gateway of my N600 broadband router (192.168.1.1). PS: I really do not understand what a gateway is. :(
