Could you show us, please? The gateway is (a) an IP address or a hostname defined in /etc/hosts and (b) actually a local address. Are there any error messages during boot about it? > Some interesting stuff that I think might be related: > When I issue a "netstat -r" command, it prints out the column headers > for the routing table and then just hangs. > If I issue a "route delete default" command and then the netstat command > it prints out the routing table correctly. > If I reassign the default gateway entry with a "route add default > xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" command, netstat hangs again. Do a 'netstat -rn'. Your DNS server is not local? 'netstat -r' is trying to do a reverse-lookup on the addresses in the routing table. You're probably feeling the DNS time-out. -- Crist J.
