I'm trying to finish the Ch04: Commands and Concepts assignment using Linux because I already have vmware-server installed on my system. I'm not particularly sure where the Default Gateway is. This is the output I get from ifconfig vmnet1 vmnet1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:C0:00:01 inet addr:192.168.149.1 Bcast:192.168.149.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::250:56ff:fec0:1/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:25 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) this is the output of route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.149.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vmnet1 172.16.42.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vmnet8 138.247.244.0 * 255.255.252.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth1 default 138.247.244.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 default * 0.0.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0 The IP Address and Subnet Mask is obvious to me, but the Default Gateway is escaping me. Anybody happen to know what I'm missing? or is that *.*.*.0 address my answer?
