Subject description: What are the commands for ifconfig		  
I'm trying to find with ifconfig the correct command to find all the adapter(s) and the default gateway, have tried ifconfig -a which shows all the info on the local adapter(s), how do you discover the default gateways IP? as you do with the string "ipconfig /all" in windows?

In Puppy.

Open a terminal and type in:

route -n

this should give you a couple of rows of info with headings:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

the second row should have your gateway address.

You could try this:
Code:
route -n

That will give you something like this: (only formatted better Rolling Eyes )
Code:
# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.254   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0


Or, if you want to get the name of the gateway
do this:
Code:
route

That will give you something like this: (only formatted better Rolling Eyes )
Code:
# route   
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       *               255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
default         BThomehub.home  0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0



For more information regarding route
enter the following command:
Code:
man route

Or click here Wink

Hope that helps

Dookus,

For the sake of fellow posters, could you edit the subject of your initial post and add [SOLVED] to the end?
