The last versions add a reasonable route automatically one you have the interface up and running. You can test for it asking to visualize the route just after (manually) running ifconfig. Most probably, the route is already there. If you, then add another route, you get into troubles; two route _are_ legal, but mean something different (see kernel option equal cost multipath). You most probably don't want this. So make sure you only have one. HTH -- Christoph Simon [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- ^X^C q quit :q ^C end x exit ZZ ^D ? help shit .
