# Having problems with the routing tables not able to find routes

# I have PPP working okay.

Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif
Expire

# And if I issue this command it just hangs!

   route to: default
destination: default
	mask: default    
# This was working the other night. But, when I tried connecting the
next day
# it no longer works! And I did not change any configuration files.
# I cannot ping, telnet, nslookup, or any other goodies. Won't even ping
# "localhost".
#    If I delete the "default" route, then I can ping the localhost
"lo0", but
# of course, I cannot access anything from the internet.
# Don't know how to fix this, does anyone know what is the problem.
#
# I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.5
# And running "routed -s" set in "/etc/sysconfig"
# It also ran okay without any routing daemon specified in the
"/etc/sysconfg".
# The last two programs I was running were "knews" newsreader
# and "Netscape 3.0".
Thanks.
