like in redhat linux we add dns or gatway entry to the /etc/resolv.conf don't know about SCO unix much.

That stuff is pretty much the same in SCO as it is in Linux. /etc/resolv.conf is where you put your dns server addresses. The format on that file is:

nameserver x.x.x.x

The default route is a little different.

You can add a default route with the command

route add default x.x.x.x

In order to run this command each time the server boots, I always add it to the /etc/rc2.d/S99route.

The contents on mine read like this:

route flush
route add default 172.22.163.1

Thanks @ phatpenguin
thats what i was looking for to run each time when the server boots... anyway thanks.
