For example, the last two reboots I did, it worked find. Any help would be REALY TREMENDOUSLY appreciated. I need to bring this machine online by Monday, and unless I can figure out this problem, I'm afraid it wont happen. ----------------------- Original Message ---------------------------- I'm running 2.2.2-RELEASE, and I've enabled routed in rc.conf, but it won't start. During startup, I see the following message: writing to route socket: invalid argument add net default: invalid argument However, after the system comes up, I can type "routed -q" and it starts up without a hitch. I have class C network with a 255.255.255.192 netmask. Is this a known problem? Did I do something wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Kory
