Hi, everyone, All is working here now. The opinion of the engineer I was working with is that the first netstat entry *is* wrong, since the address is outside the bounds of our network, but it isn't affecting anything, and my attempts to delete and correct the entry with the route command fail.

Hi, Stephanie, and everyone else, > But can't the routing table hold not necessarily the machine itself, but a router >the machine knows about? Oh, absolutely. Specific host routes shouldn't be necessary, though I've tried them just in case. The .56 is not a valid address on our network, thou

Hi, everyone, I've run into another problem, and before I call Caldera, I thought I'd try the most helpful list I know of. I have an IBM NetFinity 1000 running Caldera OpenLinux 2.4. The system needs to be dual-homed, and the system seems to recognize both ethernet cards. One is on eth0, IRQ11
