1 Another thing that makes me wonder is that the home router guide did
2 nothing mention about name_servers or gateways.
3
4 According to the guide this line seems to be enough:
5
6 config_eth0=( "192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
7
8 But without the routes setting i get "network unreachable" when i try to ping:
9 routes_eth0=("default via 192.168.0.1")
10
11 and without the dns_servers setting the ip adresses are not resolved:
12 dns_servers_eth0=("192.168.0.1" )
13
14 I have also seen the gateways setting on my searches, what is the
15 right one routes or gateway or what is the difference.
16 gateways_eth0="192.168.0.1"
