It's not related to this problem, but using 5.x for a remotely located box is a really bad idea. Stick with production releases for that purpose. Deleting the default route from the command line like that should not have any remaining effect after a reboot. Something else is probably wrong, and you need more information. > HERE IS THE ORIGINAL POSTING > > OK, this is difficult to explain and my problem is probably bigger > than what I have found but here goes.

You probably have the aliases added wrong, but we can't know without knowing what you *do* have configured for your primary addresses, and what the networks connected are supposed to be.
