Re: Weird Network Card problems - 2

[Ajit Warrier <unixajit yahoo com>]

I think you have put your finger on it! The routing
table is as follows - 

Destination Gateway    GenMask       Flags Iface
10.3.1.0    0.0.0.0    255.255.255.0 U     eth0
127.0.0.1   0.0.0.0    255.0.0.0     U     lo
0.0.0.0     10.3.1.254 0.0.0.0       UG    eth0

I have skipped the MSS column which is set to 40 for
all the three entries above, Window which is 0 and
irtt which is also 0.

Shouldn't the gateway for 10.3.1.0 be 10.3.1.23?
