default gateway weirdness

[Tim Wilson <wilson@chemsun.chem.umn.edu>]

Hey All,

I was playing around on a machine today, installing RH6 and getting it on
my network. After the installation there was no default gateway defined so
I did the following and got this error message:

# route add default gw 10.22.2.250
SIOCADDRT: file exists

What does this mean? There is no existing route to this 10.22.2.250
address, but I didn't think I needed one before I defined the default gw.
Any ideas?

-Tim
