Hi All

The default gateway is described in the entry where 'destination' = default. The Gateway is described as 10.0.0.2 or this entry.

Genmask is like a netmask, and describes the shape of the destination subnet. Since the default route leads everywhere, the subnet mask is 0.0.0.0. In general, a tcpip system will always route to the longest mask (most full netmask) it has available. 0.0.0.0 is usually the route of last resort.

gateway is defined in /etc/conf.d/net. The syntax for setting a default gateway is in the net.example file. The syntax looks like this...

routes_eth0=(
"default via 65.208.203.145"
)

jeanluca,

It uses the defualt gateway to find google.
This is either defined by your dhcp server or in your /etc/conf.d/net file
