My own posting about it in just the past year, but that posting was only done after the problem was solved. As its a bit hard to post from the machine that has a bogus routing setup. With dhcpd5 (I think thats the right name) in the system it does no good to put the correct route as a gateway statement in your /e/n/interfaces tree. So that and avahi generally get nuked. IMNSHO both were written to screw up networking, their only possible reason-de-tere. > Kind regards, > Andrei To you too Andrei.
