The problem is that both my 2.1.5-stable boxes drop their defaultroute about ten minutes after every reboot. When I then add it by hand it keeps working fine. This is the line from my /etc/gateways: net default gateway router metric 1 passive This got to be quite annoying :/ My router is a Livingston IRX-111. They are (I think) known not to broadcast routes very well. But IMHO that should be no problem with the passive-keyword. It hurts me to say that my linux-machines work fine :\ Do more people have this problem? With kind regards, Frank Ederveen frank@via.nl
