[SOLVED]Problems with static IP and while activating the gateway

Hello,
I have tried to use the internet with Arch Linux since two weeks now.
It was hard for me, because I have not got a Lan-cable.
I did get the access to the "FritzBox" now.
It uses "WEP".
But than I have got another problem:
I am not able to configure the rc.conf right for my static IP, so that I have access to the internet.

My rc.conf

wlan0="wlan0 192.168.110.53 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.110.2"
INTERFACES=(wlan0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.110.2"
ROUTES=(!gateway)

The Problem is:
If I activate the gateway by removing the "!", "/etc/rc.d/network restart" does´nt work. It says:

Stopping Network [BUSY]
SIOCDELRT: No such process
                          [FAIL]
Starting Network [BUSY]
SIOCADDRT: No such process
                           [FAIL]

If I disable the gateway again, "/etc/rc.d/network restart" works without a problem!

My resolve.conf

nameserver 192.168.110.2

The IP´s should be right - I used them on Ubuntu, too!
I hope someone has an idea for me. Thanks!

Hi,
Maybe you look for netcfg
