On a new install, on a laptop, when trying to use the red hat network configuration tool, I get the error, "Static routes file eth0 is invalid." It turned out that IP addr. was ok, but netmask, broadcast and gateway were wrong. I munged around in network and network-scripts (/etc/sysconfig) and got it to the point where if I restart network services, everything except gateway is ok. It comes up with 0.0.0.0, which is not very useful. I can fix it with "route", but I'd like it to work correctly. I don't know if this matters or is even unusual, but when the system is booting, it fails to bring up eth0 and states that it will bring it up later. eth0 is being brought up. Is there some particular file known as "the static routes file"? Ideas? -- Bill Spears <bspears@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
