The fqdn (fully qualified domain name) of the mentioned ip-address is 'user-0ceico9.cable.mindspring.com'. Since 'route' has only a certain amount of characters available for each entry it just cuts the name after 'user-0ceico9.ca'. So nothing to worry there :o) If you don't want to use name-resolving with 'route', try 'route -n'.
Try 'dig' or 'host' the next time to resolve an ip-address, 'whois' shows information about the regristration of a domain, not the hostname.
regards, Stefan, that's what I like about Linux and especially SuSE, I learn something new everyday. Now if I could only remember it all . . . .
Thanks for the response. Richard
