The 169.154.0.0 is a "link-local" route to make Linux friendly to a network with WinXP machines (and does not have a properly configured and running DHCP server). If you don't need that route, you can edit your /etc/sysconfig/network/config file and set the LINKLOCAL_INTERFACES= parameter to an empty string. -Ti -- Ti Kan http://www.amb.org/ti Vorsprung durch Technik
