Thanks for help! The distributed start-up files assume that you will be running `routed' (a very bad idea, but some people insist on it). If the routers connected to your network don't support RIP, `routed's protocol, then it won't do anything, with the symptoms you have seen. The proper solution is to add a line like the one above to your /etc/netstart file to set up a correct default route. IPng will have router discovery and you won't have to worry about it any more. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
