How to set my router as my gateway

[mka]

Whenever I do a ifconfig I get my ip addie as the device ip for my router, which is 192.168.1.1

I think I need to set that ip as my gateway so that when I ifconfig my ip will read what the ip for my router is.

I kinda got away from Linux for awhile and I'm trying to get back.

Anyone care to nudge me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Think your confusing ifconfig and route....
Ifconfig shows your local ips by interface, while route shows the networks attached to the interfaces. If setup, route should show the gateway to the net as the default route.

What distro are you using?
