Thanks!

I noticed that that works, but i am using it the other way around, i use
my PC as a router for the phone.
And that works too!
So the phone can work as a dhcpserver, but also as a dhcpclient.
But somtimes the the dhcpclient part of the phone does not work, failing
to set the default gateway and the interface address.

As Oliver pointed out, the interface is handled by network manager.
But i can't seem to find where  10.42.0.1 address comes from, or how i
can change it to, lets say 192.168.x.y.

I am still confused that the interface acts like a dhcpserver and a
dhcpclient at the same time ( sometimes failing the latter )

Thanks for the help so far!

Kind regards,
Ed
