Moloko, You don't seem to be reading what I'm writing. The "route add" command is completely separate from the "ifconfig" command. Also, based on your other email, and Rob's reply, you're using the wrong IP address for your default gateway. That would have to be the 2216 router, not some other system elsewhere. Try these two commands (as shown, please):
ifconfig tr0 147.110.49.17 netmask 255.255.255.252 broadcast 147.110.49.19 route add default gw 147.110.49.18 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 0 Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Moloko Monyepao [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 1:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Hostname Lookup failure Hi Mark!
