Hello, Looking at the routes after an install of Fedora Core 6 isee that there's a route to 169.254.0.0 that's defined (some info removed from table): 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U eth0 169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U eth0 default myhost.site 0.0.0.0 UG eth0 There's a router/gateway at 192.168.1.1 that is used for the internet. I don't see the purpose of the 169.254.0.0 route. Anyone know why it is defined and for what purposes ? Thanks, Al
