Yeah, the llinfo thing is bad routing or a wrong netmask. 255.255.0.0 is a really odd netmask -- are you _sure_ it's correct? It's not 255.255.255.0? > The route man pages say: > If the destination is directly reachable via an interface requiring no > intermediary system to act as a gateway, the "-interface" modifier should > be specified; the gateway given is the address of this host on the common > network, indicating the interface to be used for transmission. > > Is this the correct syntax: route add -net 172.18.0.0 -interface > 172.18.0.202 ? I think that's right. YOu aren't setting a default route tho.
