Ubuntu change default gateway - please help

Hello,

I need to change the default gateway on an Ubuntu PC to 10.1.3.2, which is a different PC (with Firewall / NAT / Gateway configured in it).

I have tried several ways, and did not succeed.
ifconfig output:

Code:

/etc/network interfaces file:

Code:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

#
# XXX abuse of mapping function follows.
# The findcnet script DHCPs on all interfaces the first time it is invoked
# and uses the results of that for every other invocation.  The script
# returns "cnet" for the interface that is the control net, and the physical
# interface name for all others.
#
mapping eth*
    script /usr/local/etc/emulab/findcnet

#
# The control network has been identified and configured indirectly
# via the mapping above.  Here we just make sure that if shutdown, we
# remove the indicator file so that we will re-DHCP next time.
#
auto eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3 eth4 eth5 eth6 eth7 eth8 eth9
#iface cnet inet manual
#    up echo "Emulab control net is $IFACE"
#    down rm -f /var/run/cnet
#    down ifconfig $IFACE down
iface eth4 inet static
address 192.168.1.153
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.1.3.2

Can you please write me a fixed interfaces file which will work ?

Thanks !

 

Try

Code:

iface eth4 inet static
  address 192.168.1.153
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  gateway 10.1.3.2

(The lines following iface must be indented.)

 

I think it is ok now, with command line commands.

Thanks !
