More info and wierdness...
1. I am doing this as root because after about 18 hours it just started working.
2. The dhcp stuff is in in resolve.conf.
3. I do NOT like things that fix themselves particularly when I do NOT know
why.
4. I see that the road runner DNS servers have been automaticaly recorded
in resolv.conf
Here is what my routing table looks like
rf-tools:~ # 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 eth1
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
rf-tools:~ #
This is what it looked like prior to the link coming up
rf-tools:~ # 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 eth1
link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
rf-tools:~ #
I wonder why it took so long to finally figure out that it needed to go out and
get the gateway info in there?
Some timer that my not be kicking off correctly?
