Yes, you want a network route for the ethernet, assuming you stick with the 255.0.0.0 netmask (which is fine unless you plan to use other portions of the 10/8 network elsewhere and want to be able to talk to them from these hosts): route add -net 10.0.0.0 You don't want the host routes you have listed above (I have vague memories of entries like that confusing the ARP code). You should have a line in your routing table like this when it's properly set up: Dest Gw Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 /Anders -- -- Of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
