cool,
you should be able to get the route table with either 'route' or 'netstat
-r' on a redhat box. they both return the same thing on my slackware box.
[use@box user]$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default gw.mydomain 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0
see how loopback points to the 'lo' interface? does yours?
like scott mentioned, you should read the man pages on route and ifconfig.
you can find good help at http://www.linuxdoc.org/
