I believe that my /etc/sysconfig configurations is right but i am still having problems. my sysconfig looks something like this: network interfaces="tun0 lo0" ifconfig_tun0="inet 166.84.215.109 198.7.0.124 netmask 0xffffff00" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" -i believe that i have these devices configured correctly. Do i need a loopback device? static_routes="multicast loopback" route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}" route_loopback="${hostname} localhost" -this is the static route section of my /etc/sysconfig file. Basically when i start my computer my routing tables aren't correct. I usually have to connect and rearrange my tables in order to telnet,ftp, etc. is there a way to have my routing tables configured correctly at boot time? I have read extensively but i can't seem to fix the problems. Please offer assistance. Thanks! Jeff Auerbach Cyber Warrior Inc. Jr. System Administrator creep@cyberwar.com
