[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Route wierdness

king@LEWIS-GW1.ARMY.MIL (Edwin E. King) (11/30/88)

I have a problem that I hope someone can help me with.  There
is a DEC uVax that is connected to the Milnet directly.  What
I am trying to do is set up a route to the Arpanet via a gateway
that has an Arpanet direct connection.  Last week I added a 
route to do that:

	route add 10.0.0.0 26.0.0.105 1

And it worked for some time until yesterday when the following 
happened:

Here is the routing table before the wierdness:

Routing tables
Destination     Gateway         Flags    Refcnt Use        Interface
26              26.10.0.159     U        43     1613       dda0
10              26.0.0.105      UG       0      0          dda0
128.108.12      128.108.12.1    U        1      374        qe0
192.12.197      128.108.12.10   UG       0      0          qe0
127             127.0.0.1       U        3      381        lo0
192.12.199      128.108.12.10   UG       1      91         qe0
When I try to connect a arpanet host or send mail connections time
out and here what the routing table looks like now:

Routing tables
Destination     Gateway         Flags    Refcnt Use        Interface
26              26.10.0.159     U        43     1613       dda0
10              26.0.0.88       UG       1      13         dda0
128.108.12      128.108.12.1    U        1      421        qe0
192.12.197      128.108.12.10   UG       0      0          qe0
127             127.0.0.1       U        3      381        lo0
192.12.199      128.108.12.10   UG       1      735        qe0

As you can see my route to the Arpanet has been modified!!!  Where
the heck did the 26.0.0.88 come from and how did it get into the
route table?  The troublesome thing is I had things working for
5 days before this started.  I turned routed off on the uVax, but
that did not seem to affect anything.

I might add that this is my first experience with the DEC machine and
Ultrix V2.2-1.  If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
