Of course, this is correct and maybe I made my "use in.routed -q" statement rather quickly. I did infer, however, that in the method I described, that at least one machine on your net (a gateway) "handle" the routing, which basically implies that it broadcast RIP (Routing Information Protocol) to all the other machines which are running in.routed quietly and just listening for info... -whew- When I used to use static routing, I added the required "route add" statement in /etc/rc right after I mounted the file systems... this was needed since my /usr partition was (and still is) a separate file system. -- =========================================================================== #include =:^) Jim Jagielski NASA/GSFC, Code 711.4 jim@jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov Greenbelt, MD 20771 "If we increase the size of the penguin until it is the same height as a man and then compare the relative brain size, we know find that the penguin's brain is still smaller.
