Thread Index Re: Default Gateway
i have to disagree you need the default gateway and you need it same as the IP adress, it tells the OS to send every packet out that interface else : IP Address: 172.135.35.162 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255 Default Gateway : none you would only be able to reach yourself but it is usualy defined by the provider's DHCP on an other case : you can also use gateway = IP adress if you're on a lan (with a hub) and the router to the internet has proxy-arp on it's interface, it'll work (it is not recomanded but it'll work) Patrick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nacho Casanova" <jcasanova@...> To: <isp-routing@isp-routing.com> Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 4:59 PM Subject: RE: Default Gateway > On dial-up connections you do not need to define a default-gateway since the > only way you have to reach > the rest of the internet is through the dial-up connection.
