ah ok, this looks like a bad interaction of the kernels auto-adding of routes and the routes from /etc/network/interfaces. > Forgive my ignorance, but I am not familiar with a "run" command - woody > does not recognise > "run" either... and, yes, when I removed the "route add -net..." entries > recommended by Tony Mancill's > Linux Routers (1st Ed.)

I think there is no way to tell ifup, to not add the routing entry statically. Perhaps this warrants a bug report to ifup. > If the kernel automatically adds route table entries, does it do so with > interfaces loaded as modules also? Yes, I think it is related to the ioctl, which is the same for static and loaded interfaces. > Anyhow I have included ifconfig & route info - but I don't think that my > ip/netmask combination is faulty. Yes you are right, looks fine. I did not expect that kind of duplicate routes. You can, btw try it out yourself: # ifconfig eth0 down # route # ifconfig eth0 192.168.168.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 up # route and then you should see a route to the new interface.
