One suggested running route get 205.138.224.173, which yields: route to: usr_7.inreach.com destination: usr_7.inreach.com gateway: gatekeeper.inreach.com interface: de0 flags: recvpipe sendpipe ssthresh rtt,msec rttvar hopcount mtu expire 16384 16384 0 0 0 0 1500 0 (Sorry if that formats badly). The same note implied that having that line that says gateway is bad, but didn't suggest what to do to fix things. Anyone have any ideas? Gary Schrock root@eyelab.msu.edu
