SCO 505 OpenServer Default Gatway 1

[DLCI]

How is the default gateway set on the sever.<br>
<br>
I have the server runing on the local network and need to connect to the WAN via the local router.<br>
<br>

It's usually "route add default gw.ip.address 1". Not got an OpenServer box nearby, but if memory serves you need to add this into one of the startup scripts to add it at every reboot.

Add the line to /etc/rc.d/8/userdef

I think you also have to add the line /etc/route add default gw.ip 0 &gt; /dev/null 2&gt;&1 to /etc/tcp.

The 'route add default' statement should be added in the /etc/rc2.d directory. In SCO Open Server 3.0, the route add statement was included in /etc/tcp or /etc/rc.d/8/userdef. However, in SCO OpenServer 5.0, some of the startup scripts are executed in parallel which cause some timing issues. Therefore it is recommended that a new file named S99route be created in /etc/rc2.d which includes the route add statement. <br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;# cd /etc/rc2.d<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;# vi S99route<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;echo &quot;Setting default route&quot;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;/etc/route add default &lt;IP#&gt;&nbsp;&nbsp;(where &lt;IP#&gt; is the 'gateway' IP<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;address)<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;# chown root S99route<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;# chgrp sys S99route<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;# chmod 744 S99route<br><br><br>Note: <A HREF="
