Hi, I have a 9.3 routing box with three FastEthernet interfaces (one of them has IP number 192.168.250.250 and belongs to the 192.168.250.0/24 network.) I can ping other hosts in this network, for instance, 192.168.250.20. I'm trying to set up a static route so that traffic to the 10.20.0.0/16 network goes to the 192.168.250.20 gateway. The actual command I'm using is /sbin/route add -net 10.20.0.0/16 gw 192.168.250.20 but I get "SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable" back. I do't think 192.168.250.20 is unreachable since it sits on one of the networks my box is; and I can ping it perfectly. What am I doing wrong? Just for kicks, I put in another hard drive and installed OpenBSD and sure enough it lets me add the route and, well, route traffic. best regards, Carlos. === ifconfig (with non-essential data obscured) === eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BA:AF:5F:99 inet addr:200.55.X.Y Bcast:200.55.X.W Mask:255.255.255.248 inet6 addr: fe80::250:Z/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1788970 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2442638 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:90 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:207876844 (198.2 Mb) TX bytes:2639572171 (2517.2 Mb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc00 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:F4:B1:6D:97 inet addr:200.55.U.Q Bcast:200.55.U.R Mask:255.255.255.248 inet6 addr: fe80::240:V/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:7644667 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5982953 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:209948614 (200.2 Mb) TX bytes:1295706758 (1235.6 Mb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xe800 eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:11:80:EF:87 inet addr:192.168.250.250 Bcast:192.168.250.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::211:11ff:fe80:ef87/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:159400 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:77692 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:27721502 (26.4 Mb) TX bytes:21462365 (20.4 Mb) === route (with non-essential data obscured) === Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.213.160 200.55.X.O 255.255.255.252 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.210.252 200.55.X.O 255.255.255.252 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.212.4 200.55.X.O 255.255.255.252 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.212.0 200.55.X.O 255.255.255.252 UG 0 0 0 eth0 200.55.X.N * 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.86.40 200.55.X.O 255.255.255.248 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.46.0 200.55.X.O 255.255.255.248 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.46.8 200.55.X.O 255.255.255.248 UG 0 0 0 eth0 200.55.U.M * 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.250.0 192.168.250.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth2 link-local * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default 200.55.U.L 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
