Richard An excellent idea.
Matthew Let me build on what Richard is suggesting, in effect, the purely pragmatic approach to creating a BEGINROUTES/ENDROUTES block from your existing GATEWAY statement. Proceed as follows: 1. Set your system up with the working GATEWAY statement. 2. Issue NETSTAT GATE and note how the GATEWAY statement maps into the output of this command. Note that <direct> under "FirstHop" is the equivalent of the equal sign, "=", and <none> under "Subnet Mask" is the equivalent of "0" 3. Issue NETSTAT ROUTE and note what appears. 4. Create the BEGINROUTES/ENDROUTES block from what you see in the NETSTAT ROUTE output.You can ignore the "Flags" and "Refcnt" columns and you need to interpret "0.0.0.0" under "Gateway" as an equal sign, "=". Also you'll need to add the "MTU" keyword and value which, in fact, you can discover by using the NETSTAT ROUTE DETAIL command. Perhaps you can let me know how I managed to give you the wrong information concerning how to perform the transformation. If this isn't clear, please post the NETSTAT GATE and NETSTAT ROUTE output.
