aaah!
I tried route add default 12.34.56.78
and netstat -r stuck...
I can't test it now because i'm not on the good machine...
And... humm... the NIC you're talking about is 12.34.56.78, in the
example? And the IP would be 12.34.56.78?
Thanks!
PS: Shouldn't this be in the handbook or something? In the default routes
sections, it is explained how it is working, but not how to add a default
route... :(
