Free BSD 5.1 & default gateway
Hello folks, I'm very new to Unix so please bear with me.

I have a FreeBSD 5.1 box on IP address 192.168.1.4 and I want to tell it to use my broadband router (192.168.1.1) as it's default gateway. Could someone tell me how to do this?

I did search these forums first but could not find anything specific to FreeBSD and setting up a default gateway and the handbook seems to only tell me how to set the Unix box itself as a gateway.

Thanks in advance.

No need to reply guys, I just did it through sysinstall and then checked the rc.conf file to see what was in it which of course was:

defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
