I have a DSL connection, and I need basically a point to point link to
my router.
Now, I'm at 192.168.1.3, and the router is 192.168.1.30. It's actually
a subnet of 192.168.1.224 (with .31 as the broadcast and .0 as the net),
but I can't talk to anyone else in that net without going through the
router.
So, the new kernel automatically adds a route for 192.168.1.31 as
direct, and doesn't seem to allow me to delete it! What is up with
that? Are we now at the point where we think the computer knows better
then the operator?
I tried to set it up as a pointopoint link, but that doesn't work
(ifconfig seems to ignore the pointopoint part).
Is there a fix for this other then going back to 2.0.x?
regards,
Val Gough
