If you can ping 127.0.0.1 without the 127.x.x.x route there then your kernel is supplying the route implicitly and you don't need to add one manually. There is no need for a 127.x.x.x route on FC3 at least. > Do all the gateway settings seem OK? Mine is the machine with the > 192.168.32.3 IP. My 2 sons machines are -.1 & -.2.

Convention would be to have the router (gateway) at .1 and other machines at larger numbers. But it's only a convention; everything will work perfectly well with your router at .3. > PS what's a zeroconf route. (exposing the depths of my ignorance here!) See http://www.zeroconf.org/ for an overview. If you have a working DHSP server on your network, you don't need zeroconf (might be useful on a laptop though, in case you end up somewhere with no DHCP server).
