Works fine for subnets too. Nothing works for me. } e.g. } } /etc/networks: } blazenet 203.17.53.0 } blazenet-netmask 255.255.255.0 } usn 203.17.53.16 } usn-netmask 255.255.255.240 } lzs 203.17.53.48 } lzs-netmask 255.255.255.240 Configuring your subnet as part of a class B network, see if it works. There is no problem for class C netowrks :-) due to the IP design. } netstat -r: } Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire } blazenet link#1 UC 0 0 } usn/28 unique.usn UGc 1 19406 ppp0 } unique.usn server UH 2 34262 ppp0 } lzs/28 cuffs.lzs UGc 1 14256 ppp1 } cuffs.lzs server UH 2 5798 ppp1 Nothing can be told from netstat report. You may have netmasks set in the /etc/sysconfig file. Only things may convince me are the /etc/sysconfig file and the "ifconfig -a" command. If you have no netmasks set in your /etc/sysconfig and "ifconfig -a" shows that you had right netmasks. Thanks, -Jin
