If you want to chage the default gateway in linux using the linux shell, do this:

Execute this comand to display your network configuration:

Code:

cat /etc/sysconfig/network

It will show something like this:

Code:

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=host.domain.com
GATEWAY=210.96.156.101

In this example, my gateway is set to 210.96.156.101 If you want to change it, user your favorite editor and edit, then save it. I like using nano or VI. if you find vi hard to master, use nano, its much easier to use. if you are going to us nano, execute this command to edit:

Code:

nano /etc/sysconfig/network

Please note in this example i am using Redhat/Fedora distribution.
