On my system, I investigate problems in this area using the
command 'route' to display or modify the kernel's routing
table. So if you know a bit about Networking, you could
try 'man route'.

I have a book called 'The Linux Network' by Fred Butzen
and Christopher Hilton with is well written and easy to
understand, which sadly contains too many typos, editing
errors and other imperfections to recommend unreservedly
to someone who doesn't already know their stuff. It deals
with gateways between pp 94-123. You could find either this
or a similar book in library and study your problem.
