Unable to set default gateway
- by GrandMasterFlush
I'm running Ubuntu server via Hyper-V and have successfully installed it but seem unable to ping the server or ping any other machines on the network from the server.
After doing a bit of reading I've noticed that the default gateway isn't set but when I try and set it I keep getting error messages which I can't understand.
From this article I've tried
ip route add default via 10.0.10.200
Which reports: RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted
If I try running it prefixed with sudo but it reports:
`RNETLINK answers: No such process
I've editted /etc/network/interfaces but when I start the machine and type netstat -nr there is nothing listed.
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong please?
EDIT :
/etc/network/interfaces contains:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
