Why did you hardcode the IP here, and then hardcode it below again?

(Script works ok at the console). Eh... the routing table is per-kernel, and does not need filesystem access. "No route to host" is most likely a wrong error message; please show the code. I don't *think* this is the reason, but note that http://94.100.188.5/robots.txt leads to a 404. I'm sorry I don't have a solution - just trying to fix some misunderstandings here. Joachim
