Thanks for the reply, I have pasted my complete routing table below.

Im pretty sure if you want to delete a route that you need to use a more
verbose syntax with netmask and gw and etc.
When I do a route on one of my boxes it comes up
[root@srv ~]# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
10.0.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
200.55.44.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
default br1.abbacomm.ne 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
eth0 is active and up. Eth1 is not active and not plugged into anything.
Here is my complete route table:
./route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
69.13.211.0 * 255.255.255.192 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 69.13.211.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
The big difference between mine and yours is that the 169.254.0.0 route
is showing up on eth0 - which is the only port connected. I can get into
the box, but the box can not get out to anyplace. I could be looking in
the wrong place for the solution, I figured that this looks wrong to
have this apparent self-assigned IP on my only active ethernet port.
I show the route as well only because I have an inactive interface meaning
it is not admin up and so there really is no route because the interface
isn't talking to another external interface.
There is no reason to delete it that I can think of.
If it is not on your active interface, down the other one as long as you can
get back in the machine and forget about it???
This is my only active port. If I shut it down, the machine goes away.
What does your routing table say?
see above
What does ifconfig say?
./ifconfig
