I somehow did something that affects route. I have the simple settings
that the debian installer automatically sets up in my /etc/init.d/network
file.
This ifconfig's the eth0 interface appropriatly, set's up the network, but
when it tries to set the default route, I get.
chum# route add default gw 132.250.89.81
route: eth0_broadcast: cannot use a NETWORK as gateway!
Usage: route [-nNvee] [-FC] [Address_families] List kernel routing tables
route {-V|--version} Display command version and
exit.
route {-h|--help} [Address_family] Usage Syntax for specified
AF.
route [-v] [-FC] {add|del|flush} ... Modify routing table for AF.
Address_families: inet,ddp,ipx,netrom,ax25
specify AF: -A af1,af2.. or --af1 --af2 or af_route
however, if I replace the "132.250.89.81" with "pacfw" (what /etc/hosts
says is 132.250.89.81), everything works.
Does anyone have a clue why the ip address doesn't work, but the name I
gave the machine in /etc/hosts does work.
Thanks,
Shaya
