Hi All, concerning the problem when running the "ip ru ls" command. I faced with the same problem, and I solved it by making sure to include = the following settings into the kernel configuration (2.4.18): =20 CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER=3Dy <=3D=3D=3D CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES=3Dy <=3D=3D=3D CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_FWMARK=3Dy CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_NAT=3Dy CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=3Dy CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_TOS=3Dy CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_VERBOSE=3Dy CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_LARGE_TABLES=3Dy The new kernel is then able to perform policy routing in the correct way = (iproute2-010824) =20 ciao - Alberto -----Original Message----- From: ext Richardson, Robert [mailto:RRichardson@activision.com] Sent: Mittwoch, 6.
