[clug] route flumox

[Simon Burton]

Hi all,

Whenever I turn on a linux machine on my LAN
my main dial up machine decides to add a default gateway (arrow)
that used to be the gateway ages ago but is not anymore.

The result is packets stop going out my net connection.. It's
some wierd dynamic thing that the kernel packet router is doing.

The workaround is to do

$ route del default gw arrow
$ route add default gw ip-address-of-isp

Any ideas where this problem is coming from ?
I'm useing mandrake 10, with a 2.6.3 kernel.

Simon.
