Message-ID: <DoA2y4.ELx.E.fourthgen@fourthgen.fourthgen.com> Date: Thu, 14 Mar 1996 22:10:52 GMT Lines: 20 Occasionally when a user connecting via SLIP or PPP hangs up their route is left in the routing table like this (insert favorite IP address for x's): Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx link#2 UHLW 1 12 Does anyone know why a broken route is left behind like this sometimes? What can I do to stop it from happening in the future? SLIP connections are all static IP connections. The PPP connections are dynamically assigned based on which of 5 lines they call in on and I'm using pppd.
