Hi,
last week I had the problem of routing between
two class C networks this was resolved using

route add <network> -interface <host>

On this other class C network there is a gateway
which is host 20, this is our default gateway to the internet
I can ping this router fine, but as soon as I go past
it gives me No route to host.

PING msn.com (207.68.142.28): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: wrote msn.com 64 chars, ret=-1

has anyone got any suggestions.

Simon Atkin, :>
