Re: Internet connection work only after manual: route add default gw???

My /etc/rc.conf contains these two lines to set the router as a gateway:

gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

You should have similiar lines in your rc.conf. Default setting disables gateway with an exclamation mark  -- ROUTES=(!gateway) -- remove it.

with:

.....
eth0="eth0 192.168.76.99 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.76.255"
INTERFACES=(eth0)

gateway="default gw 192.168.76.1"
ROUTES=(192.168.76.1)
....

replace ROUTES with

ROUTES=(gateway)

and do what Gruntz said about /etc/resolv.conf

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
