Re: [PLUG] Re: Changing DSL setup


OK.  I did that and everything is working fine.  Problem is, I can't pinpoint 
how it is working.  Before I eliminate the hub, I want to make sure that the 
LAN is using the gateway and not the hub.  

What command can I use to best determine which route local traffic is taking?

If local traffic is now using the hub, how can I force it to use the gateway 
instead?

The existing LAN -- and presumably the hub -- is using hardcoded /etc/hosts 
addresses. (192.168.0.x) The gateway is assigning addresses dynamically 
(range 192.168.1.[2-64] -- the gateway itself uses the address 192.168.1.1).  

What changes do I need to make to the hosts file or other configuration so 
that local traffic uses the dynamically assigned address in the 192.168.1.
[2-64] range?

Sorry for being so thick here, but I have a conceptual barrier to overcome.  
Once I understand what is happening, I can usually figure out the details for 
myself.
