That's a fancy way of stating that they >expect systems to setup IP's with netmasks of 255.255.255.255 and then >route to 10.255.255.1 `magically'. Ah, they're doing it the same as Strato then. Thanks to Matthias Kilian for discovering the following fix: (hostname.fxp0) inet 1.2.3.4 0xFFFFFFFF NONE !route -n add -inet -host 5.6.7.8 -link -iface fxp0: !route -n add -inet default 5.6.7.8 It does suck somehow, though. There are arp messages in dmesg. bye, //mirabile -- > emacs als auch vi zum Kotzen finde (joe rules) und pine f|r den einzig > bedienbaren textmode-mailclient halte (und ich hab sie alle ausprobiert). ;) Hallooooo, ich bin der Holger ("Hallo Holger!"), und ich bin ebenfalls ... pine-User, und das auch noch gewohnheitsmd_ig ("Oooooooohhh").
