Why should it? For routes use "ip route add" This is equivalent to the older "ifconfig" and "route" commands. The first defines the interface (ip address) and the second defines routes. Unix doesn't try to infer routes from interface definitions. Sometimes the vendor boot scripts (e.g: RedHat "ip-up" scripts) do both actions, so it looks to you as an automatic mechanism. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Oron Peled Voice/Fax: +972-4-8228492 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.actcom.co.il/~oron c:\winnt> secure_nt.exe Securing NT.
