Thank you Hans. I got this fixed. One more question, I do I get the route information saved so that it is the same after boot up every time? This Storm box seems not to save the route information permanently after I use the route command to set the routing information.

How do I get this to stay? Add netmask to the config. iface eth0 inet static address 10.5.5.99 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 10.5.5.0 broadcast 10.5.5.255 gateway 10.5.5.5 Technically you shouldn't need to add network and broadcast as they can be derived from addy and netmask. ciao, der.hans -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.Opnix.com # HERE LIES LESTER MOORE # SHOT 4 TIMES WITH A .44 # NO LES # NO MOORE # -- tombstone, in Tombstone, AZ ________________________________________________ See http://PLUG.phoenix.az.us/navigator-mail.shtml if your mail doesn't post to the list quickly and you use Netscape to write mail.
