The FC3 network intialization stanza looks like: # Add non interface-specific static-routes. if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/static-routes ]; then grep "^any" /etc/sysconfig/static-routes | while read ignore args ; do /sbin/route add -$args done fi which searches for any line beginning with the word "any". Anyway, try it without the "-" on "-net". For example: # route -n 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.6 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 # vi static-routes # cat static-routes any net 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1 any net 192.168.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1 any net 192.168.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1 16:01:45 # /etc/init.d/network restart Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ] Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] Setting network parameters: [ OK ] Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ] 16:02:04 # route -n Kernel IP routing table 192.168.4.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.3.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.2.0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.6 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
