This may be wrong, but the answer I was given some months ago (many months ago), is that if your gate way is 194.207.26.1 for example, but you have an IP bound that is not part of that same block (194.207.188.100 eg) you get that message. You can comment it out of the kernel code IIRC - but I didn't bother, it doesn't affect anything, it just looks messy. N. ------- End of forwarded message ------- -- Nicholas J.
