[H-GEN] routing

[John Boggon]

 I have a problem thats been bugging me for a while and I can't find whats
causing it. Below are the results of a netstat -r on my machine after I
bring my ppp link up.


Destination     Gateway         Genmask            Flags   MSS Window  irtt
Iface
annex27.cc.uq.e *               255.255.255.255    UH      296    0
0    ppp0
localnet                *               255.255.255.0         U      1500
0            0    eth0
127.0.0.0             *               255.0.0.0                  U      3584
0            0    lo
default    annex27.cc.uq.e    0.0.0.0                     UG      296   0
0    ppp0

The first entry is the troubling one... Someone in this group pointed out a
while ago that this could possibly be an error ( netscape problems) The mask
looks wrong and I don't think I should have two entries for ppp0. If I bring
the ppp link down both entries disappear.

I've checked all my ppp startup files (chatscript etc) and can't find the
place where it's set up. According to the route man page, the flags UG mean
link is up and use GATEWAY and UH mean target is a host.

This problem does not seem to affect my internet link at all. Masquerading
is working, ping , telnet etc all work ok from both my machines.

The only thing I can think of that might possibly be responsible is my
nameserver.. On the other hand, This could be perfectly normal and I'm
wasting my time and everyone's bandwidth on a non-existent problem.

Anyone got any ideas ?

John.
