Antwort: Gateway problem

[John Weissberg]

Here is my route table with the gateway removed. My entire network uses netmask
255.255.255.0
I do not know why the route table has 255.255.255.255 in the first line.


Kernel IP routing table
 Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
 192.168.0.2     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 eth0
 192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
