Greetings; I have been playing the 10k monkeys scene trying to figure out how to add a gateway entry to the route -n report on a rock64 with a stretch/xfce install on it.
Where does this assignment belong in a static defined eth0 configuration? I know several places where it doesn't work, but what I need to know is where do I put, in what file, the "gateway = www.xxx.yyy.zzz" and make it just work for a stretch install on a rock64. Thats an arm64 family card. All I have been able to get out of route is the gibberishy help when there is a syntax error. The obvious (to me that is) place would be in /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0, which has this: auto eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.71.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.71.1 dns-nameserver 192.168.71.1 But that is ignored. Help please. Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
