11.10 edit routing table

[GeorgeMat]

Hi All,

I am pretty new to Linux.
I connected my laptop to the Lan using a static ip - edited from moreApps -> Network Tools - edited the ethernet interface eth0 - used the configure button.

Once that is done, the network connects for a time, then disconnects.
I get some values on the routing table which I did not put in. these values are also faulty.
How can I rectify these? Where are the routing table.

Pls find some info below.
