Well, you know, you can do something about that...:-)

Is this a private net or what? The 0 net number is odd, I don't usually
see that. Are you sure that's right?

The relevant sections from my 2.1.5 /etc/sysconfig. You probably need to
edit the sections with *********'s.
######################### Start Of Netconfig Section #######################
# Set to the name of your host - this is pretty important!
hostname=gdi.uoregon.edu
# Set to the NIS domainname of your host, or NO if none
defaultdomainname=NO
#
# Some broken implementations can't handle the RFC 1323 and RFC 1644
# TCP options. If TCP connections randomly hang, try disabling this,
# and bug the vendor of the losing equipment.
#
tcp_extensions=YES
# If you're running PCNFSD or anything else which requires mountd to allow
# non-root requests for NFS mounts, set this to YES.
weak_mountd_authentication=YES
#
# Set to the list of network devices on this host. You must have an
# ifconfig_${network_interface} line for each interface listed here.
# for example:
#
# network_interfaces="ed0 sl0 lo0"
#
# ifconfig_ed0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00"
# ifconfig_sl0="inet 10.0.1.0 netmask 0xffffff00"
# ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
#
# ********* do your network device config here! (uncomment first)
#network_interfaces="lo0 ed0"
#ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
#ifconfig_ed0="inet 128.223.186.250 netmask 255.255.254.0"
#No-network config
#
network_interfaces="lo0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
#
# Set to the list of route add lines for this host. You must have a
# route_${static_routes} line for each static route listed here (unless
# static_routes is set to "" - do NOT use ``NO'' to denote a lack of
static
# routes!).
#
#static_routes="foo multicast"
#route_foo="woofo woofo-gw"
#route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface 10.0..0.1"
#static_routes="multicast loopback"
#route_loopback="gdi localhost"
#route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface gdi"
static_routes="loopback"
route_loopback="gdi localhost"
# Set to the host you'd like set as your default router, or NO for none.
# This is the same as adding a ``default'' entry to static_routes.
# ******** set this to your gateway.
#defaultrouter=128.223.170.1
defaultrouter=NO
# This is the routing daemon you want to use. Possible options are
# currently NO (for none), `routed' and `gated'. Also see `routerflags'
# for startup flags.
router=NO
All you really need is the default route and everything else will be
handled.
BSD doesn't really make use of the /etc/networks or associated files. Or
at least I don't.
