The defaultroute should be GATEWAY=192.168.65.142 but it loaded GATEWAY=10.2.1.14 upon restart. Could it be the sequence the interfaces are enabled from eth0 then eth1 then eth5, the last interface activated its own gateway as the default? Should i delete the gateway on eth0 and eth5 such that it would make sure only the defaultgateway on eth1 is loaded upon restart? i just can't restart network services and see what happens, the server is in production and it takes a lot of authorization before i can restart it. thanks, june /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 ONBOOT=no BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.11.13.150 NETMASK=255.255.255.192 GATEWAY=10.11.13.129 HOSTNAME=web2003 HWADDR=00:19:BB:AB:CD:EF ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 DEVICE=eth1 HWADDR=00:19:BB:AA:DD:CC ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet IPADDR=192.168.65.131 NETMASK=255.255.255.240 GATEWAY=192.168.65.142 HOSTNAME=web2003.domain.net ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off" /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth5 DEVICE=eth5 HWADDR=00:18:FE:BB:CC:DD ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.2.1.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.240 GATEWAY=10.2.1.14 HOSTNAME=web2003.domain.net ETHTOOL_OPTS="speed 100 duplex full autoneg off"
