[ale] Linux router help needed......again

[Scott A. Martin]

Jim,

Add a line with the IP address of the Linux box to your dhcpd.conf
within the subnet declaration block:

option routers 192.168.7.xx;

I notice someone else suggested same but with the word "router" vs. the
plural "routers".  The man page for dhcpd.conf shows it plural; I have
no idea if it matters.
