Assuming it's been more than 4 hours since you added the route, give BPD helpdesk (1800 066 594) a ring, and tell them to find out why your route hasn't flowed through the network.. - push em hard enough, and they'll flush the routes right there and then.. (That's always fun to watch.. - sit there with traceroutes running, and you can see all routes across aus drop, then (over about a 30-second period) fan out across the country :) But yeah, if you've setup your routes in custdata, left it until the 4-hourly update (8am, 12am, 4pm, 8pm, unless they've changed it in the last 12 months), but a traceroute from telstra (www.telstra.net/cgi-bin/trace) doesn't end up coming in your link, it's a telstra fault, and they have 4 hours to find the fault, and a further 4 fix it IIRC.. :) Don't let them tell you otherwise.. - I had a route change (from a vic pop to an act pop) not go through on a friday night, and had the tech on duty on saturday morning tell me that he wasn't allowed to do a routing reload, and would I mind waiting till monday morning cause he didn't want to have to get an engineer out on the weekend to do the reload.. - he ended up getting the engineer out.. :) HTH, DG -------------- Damien Gardner Jnr - Dip.EE StudIEAust VK2TDG [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.rendrag.net/ Ph: 0417 055 052 - Fax: 02 6255 8663 -- A hard-on does NOT count as personal growth. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
