If you're using a 2.2 kernel OR a 2.1 kernel later than, oh, 2.1.89 or thereabouts (that's a guess), the route commands for local networks are no longer necessary. Comment them out of /etc/init.d/network and you'll be fine. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet 410 South Phillips Avenue Sioux Falls, SD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9)
