Yes, trial and error.  Although to its credit, it was pretty easy to set
up a static route however nowhere was it mentioned that DHCP settings
override *everything*, in most things, manual settings override the
automatic ones.

And BTW for anyone who was pondering, having a default gateway does not
send *every* packet to it, only ones to IP's outside your subnet, as I
previously thought and my flashing lights on the hub confirm.

>man route, would be nice.

Remember that nice "help" that was part of DOS 6? (and probably 5) Well,
it's a shame Microshaft ditched that.  Lots of useful info in there, I
still keep a copy from my DOS 6.22 install from years ago.
