Sometimes, one must force a route to be interpreted as a route to a network rather than a route to a host. This is one of those times. You might try either: route -n add 128.189.62.64 128.189.62.2 1 or route add net 128.189.62.64 128.189.62.2 1 I am not certain which syntax SunOS 4.0 uses. Also, the 4.0 docs say that one can have different subnet masks on different interfaces, so long as those interfaces are on different IP networks. One cannot currently have varying-width subnet masks within a single IP network. For example: ie0) net 128.8, subnet mask 0xffffff00 ie1) net 129.6, subnet mask 0xffff8000 is OK, while ie0) net 128.8, subnet mask 0xffffff00 ie1) net 128.8, subnet mask 0xfffffff0 is not. For that, you'll have to wait for the Berkeley routing code rework... -Steve Spoken: Steve Miller Domain: steve@mimsy.umd.edu UUCP: uunet!mimsy!steve Phone: +1-301-454-1808 USPS: UMIACS, Univ. of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742
