Okay, as for setting the gateway, I was wrong. The command is actually route. I believe the command runs as such: route add -net <gateway address> netmask <netmask address> eth0 Sets the gate way to eth0 (use the appropriate NIC value) As for man pages, I usually just hop on to google.com and do a search for man and then my command. There's probably a better way. Any suggestions anyone? So I hope this help. I for the life of me can't remember which /etc file you want to edit to make the route get set on start up. I coudl find it if I were at home right now. So until someone tells you, you figure it out or I get home, this will at least allow you to set it up whenever you run the command. >Kevin Stokes >Pie in the Sky Software >www.pieskysoft.com > > cheers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Patrick Mauro [EMAIL PROTECTED]
