Hello Brett; Thanks a lot for the help on this issue.
The cure to the problem is... Instead of hand-rolling my own ifcfg-eth0:x files, I used the GUI. Oddly enough this works. The only real difference I can see from A to B was that the subinterface files had a LOT more detail to them. More than I would have placed myself. Another thing I did observe was when I would use the -route- command I could see all sorts of default gateway entires. Weird. But now I see one and only one. Which is more what I expected. So much for being such a command-line bigot. Chris Johnston 714-306-5746 949-653-8819 (fax) Cannot find REALITY.SYS.

Perhaps it was you I don't know. try the archives at marc.theaimsgroup.com. They archive the linux-net list .... In fact take a look at this and see if it is pointing in the right direction. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-net&m=104930510428818&w=2 IF no luck try the linux-net list. A couple of years ago a lot of the coders working on the networking code were there.
