"Refresh" my DHCP connection

because the dhcp server provides this information, and it routinely hands out bum information on a first connection?
you can edit this to the required numbers, but i don't think that you are attacking the cause of the problem.
perhaps a nice cup of coffee or tea for the sysadmin may produce better results?

drlizau, that about sums it up. As far as I can tell (I'm in China and I only speak a few words of Chinese), you have to get the first gateway before you can see the second gateway. Refreshing just changes the gateway address - IP stays the same.

(edit)So, any ideas on how I can do a refresh or override just the gateway address? I can connect by entering the following:

cat > /etc/resolve.conf
nameserver 161.36.84.2
nameserver 61.144.56.100
^z
route del default
route add default gw 192.168.1.2

So, how can I automate this?(edit)

I'm a newbie to Linux (although this seems like a great distro!) so type the instructions real s l o w.

TIA

Okay, this is what I came up with:

/usr/sbin/netRepair

<br />
#! /bin/bash<br />
echo nameserver 161.36.84.2$'\n'nameserver 61.144.56.100 > /etc/resolv.conf<br />
route del default<br />
route add default gw 192.168.1.2<br />

And on my desktop (~/Desktop/repair)

<br />
#! /bin/bash<br />
sudo netRepair<br />

Now I can jsut click on the icon for repair on my desktop and the ethernet connection is configured correctly.

It works, but was it the best way?

(edit) why are the code blocks showing HTML line break tags?
