Here's what the "debug" script says: reason='BOUND' interface='eth0' medium='' alias_ip_address='' new_ip_address='67.43.141.87' new_subnet_mask='255.0.0.0' new_domain_name='' new_domain_name_servers='192.168.7.1' new_routers='199.212.135.116' new_static_routes='' old_ip_address='67.43.141.87' old_subnet_mask='255.0.0.0' old_domain_name='' old_domain_name_servers='192.168.7.1' old_routers='199.212.135.116' old_static_routes='' I can see why some piece of software thinks this is weird and/or wrong: the router isn't on the same subnet as the IP that I've been given. To fix the problem I have created a "fix-gateway" script in dhclient-exit-hooks.d which simply does this: route add default eth0 This isn't pretty, but it seems to work. -- graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
