An additional clue:
in my office network that is very similar to my home network of my previous message output of netstat .nr is:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.100.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 40 0 0 ppp0

192.168.254.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth1

0.0.0.0 192.168.100.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 ppp0
where the entry 169.254.etc.etc.. is not present
