Someone who posted a reply earlier was right, in that seeing your routing
table would be helpful to others who are trying to solve your problem.
When I first started playing with static routes in Bering, I found that
Bering was creating its own default routes based on the interfaces that were
defined. I cheated my way around this a little by adding a line near the end
of my /etc/init.d/network file that called a route script. The route script
began by flushing all existing routes, and then defining my own.

I managed to get the static routes added. But still no joy. Here is
what my interfaces file looks like.
SNIP>>>>>>>>>>>>
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for LEAF network
# J. Nilo, April 2002
#
# Loopback interface.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# Step 1: configure external interface
# uncomment/adjust one of the following 4 options
# Option 1.1 (default): eth0 / dynamic IP from pump/dhclient
#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
#
# Option 1.2: eth0 / Fixed IP (assumed to be 1.2.3.4).
# (broadcast/gateway optional)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.141.1
masklen 24
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.142.1
masklen 24
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.143.1
masklen 24
auto eth3
iface eth3 inet static
address 192.168.147.1
masklen 24
broadcast 192.168.147.255
gateway 192.168.147.4
#
#
up ip route add 192.168.140.0/24 via 192.168.147.3 |true
up ip route add 192.168.144.0/24 via 192.168.147.2 |true
up ip route add 192.168.145.0/24 via 192.168.147.2 |true
up ip route add 192.168.146.0/24 via 192.168.147.2 |true

I see that all my interfaces come up fine at boot. I do a "ip addr"
and all my NICs are up. I do a "ip route show" and all my routes appear to
be up as well. But something is still interfering with the routes because I
can't ping to the servers on our .147 subnet. I have removed shorewall.lrp
from the disk because this is not a firewall it is a router only. This is
where I suspect the problem is. As I recall there is a router/firewall
switch in Dachstein. Is there a command that I should be entering in the
interfaces file to tell this box that it is a router? Why is this not
working?
A couple footnotes to this, I have removed shorewall.lrp and ADDED
ifconfig.lrp and dhcrelay.lrp. I am receiving no errors on boot up so I
suspect I am just missing a command somewhere. Can someone please help me
out. (Yes I have read the interfaces manpage but I did not read anything
that explains how to do this.)
Thanks in advance.
