Matthew I thought you said it worked with Steve's example. Now you say you still have a problem. However, you say you don't have a problem when using the GATEWAY statement.
It's very easy to convert a GATEWAY statement to a BEGINROUTES/ENDROUTES block of statements. Perhaps you should post your - working - GATEWAY statement and we can convert it for you. Meantime I'll explain as best as I can the example - derived from Steve's example - I used before - although I'll skip the "hypersockets" part since I have no experience of that. If your hypersockets doesn't work, we'll have to deal with that separately and I'll need to do some reading. BEGINROUTES ; Where is the gateway? ROUTE 10.1.1.0/24 = ETH1 MTU 8192 ; All other traffic defaults here ROUTE DEFAULT 10.1.1.254 ETH1 MTU 8192 ENDROUTES ROUTE 10.1.1.0/24 = ETH1 MTU 8192 says that all packets in IP address range 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.254 are sent *directly* - directly is what the "=" sign says - over interface ETH1 and the maximum frame size is 8192. Since we are claiming to be able to reach all IP addresses in the range 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.254 *directly* over interface ETH1, we are saying that any address in that range can be the subject of an "address resolution protocol" (ARP) request used in order to get a MAC address for the IP address in an ARP reply. ROUTE DEFAULT 10.1.1.254 ETH1 MTU 8192 says that all other packets are sent *indirectly* and are sent initially to IP interface address 10.1.1.254 over interface ETH1 and the maximum frame size is 8192. You'll note that there will be no difficulty sending packets to IP interface address 10.1.1.254 because we just defined how to send packets to any of the IP addresses in the range 10.1.1.1 to 10.1.1.254 and 10.1.1.254 happens to be one of the IP addresses in that range.
