Odd looking netmask !!!! on first entry Should it be 255.255.255.0 ? To delete that entry route del -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 eth0 to replace with correct? one route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 To add a default route then something like route add default gw 192.168.0.254 But better still edit /etc/sysconfig/network/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to contain the correct info Something like DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none BROADCAST=192.168.0.255 IPADDR=192.168.0.?? machine IP NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.0.0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes GATEWAY=192.168.0.254 Maybe Stop and start networking using service network restart All as root of course!
