Thanks for the suggestion, Tom, but when I try it, I get:
route: netmask doesn't match route address
Usage: blah blah blah (usage msg from route)
Error while excuting: [sic]
/sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 127.0.0.1 dev lo
and a similar message for 192.168.81.38.
I get a similar message when I stop routing with /sbin/init.d/route stop
(with "del" instead of "add" in the msg line). The routing table remains
unchanged after stopping or starting with this configuration; apparently
this error is so severe that /sbin/route takes no action at all.
Any thoughts?
However, on the bright side, eliminating the default line DOES get
rid of the error message at shutdown. Eventually, I will be setting
up PPP on big-dog, but I'll worry about that after figuring out this
simple setup.
