You need to put your default gateway (the internal IP of your older box)
in '/etc/mygate'.

     The default gateway address is stored in the /etc/mygate file.  If you
     need to edit this file, a painless way to reconfigure the network after-
     wards is route flush followed by a sh -x /etc/netstart command.  Or, you
     may prefer to manually configure using a series of route add and route
     delete commands (see route(8)).
