No that flushes the routing cache, not the arp cache. With the ip command you'd flush the arp cache with "ip neigh flush all", you can also cycle through all arp entries and delete them with "arp -d address" Original poster's question (sorry lost original mail) ...

If the router doesn't know about the local 203.221.41.0/27 network it will assume that the network is not local and try to reach it through the Internet. -- Fraser Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wehave.net/ Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux
