Previously on my systems when a computer is not connected to the
Internet netstat -r returns:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
However, on my FC3 system currently the 127.0.0.0 line is absent. When
I execute a ifconfig lo the output is:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:1742 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1742 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:2804326 (2.6 MiB) TX bytes:2804326 (2.6 MiB)
so the lo interface seems to be up and ok. Can anyone explain why the
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
is missing?
