I'm assuming you mean to run static routes. Are you still running routed (which is the default after installation)? If so, routed can remove that default route for you. I had this happen several times before I tracked it down. Disable routed by setting the routedflags=NO in /etc/sysconfig. -- ---------- Deborah Gronke Bennett (WD5HJH) kernel and device drivers engineer deborah@microunity.com (408)-734-8100 MicroUnity Systems Eng., 255 Caspian Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1015 USA
