Description

System > Routing > I click the Edit icon next to my gateway.
Then, in gateway, I put the (private) IP of my DSL modem, then I click save and get the following message:

"The gateway address x.y.z.t does not lie within the chosen interface's subnet."

The problem is my modem has IP 10.x.x.x, and over DHCP, gives a 77.x.x.x IP to the interface.
If I go to console and do "route add -net default 10.x.x.x", then everything works fine.

Note that at bootup, in "System: Gateways", the gateway displayed for the the interface is the 10.x.x.x IP... but pinging anything fails with "no route to host", and "netstat -nr" displays no default route.
