And, since you insist.... Yes, you need to create a "host" static route as suggested in the article. No, system-config-network's Route Tab is designed to define remote networks, not host/dev entries, so you are on your own in "defining" it. The file that probably makes the most sense to put the entry in to is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 (assuming this is based on eth0). Instead of the article's use of "up", you want to look at the syntax of the "ip" command: ip route add .... Good luck, cause I think you're going to need it.... --Rob
