Hi, We're using dhcp.client as documented here: http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.4.1/neutrino/utilities/d/dhcp.client. html. For various reasons, it would be preferable for dhcp.client to not change the routing table when it gets IP info or when it shuts down. However, I don't see a way to disable this functionality in the documentation. Am I missing something, or is this not possible? -David
Hi David, Are you running 6.4.1? In 6.5.0 there's a command line option (-R) which avoids installing a default route. Is that what you're looking for?

The 6.5 dhcp.client has a -R option which prevents it from applying the default route. -seanb ----- Original Message ----- From: David van Geest [mailto:community-noreply@qnx.com] Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2010 04:31 PM To: technology-networking <post76976@community.qnx.com> Subject: prevent dhcp.cllient from modifying routing table Hi, We're using dhcp.client as documented here: http://www.qnx.com/developers/docs/6.4.1/neutrino/utilities/d/dhcp.client. html.

Thanks for the replies, guys. That -R option is exactly the thing I'm looking for, however we are using 6.4.1. Any other ideas?
The easiest option might be requesting this for 6.4.1. Other options include configuring the server if you have access to not provide this information. Also, the dhcp.client dhcp-up script will contain all the parameters supplied by the DHCP server, so you could reverse what was set by the client.

I might just have to make that request. The DHCP servers will vary and we don't have access to them. My current workaround is in the same vein as your dhcp-up solution, but a cleaner solution would be nice. Thanks for the reply Dave! > The easiest option might be requesting this for 6.4.1.
