Hi,

	Here is the results of 'ifconfig > file; netstat -s >> file' on my
system :

	Why does the total packets received number not match up to whats
coming from 'ifconfig'? I'm running stock kernel 2.2.20 on a Debian distro
. netstat --version reports :

net-tools 1.54           
netstat 1.38 (1999-04-20)

ifconfig --version reports :

net-tools 1.54            
ifconfig 1.39 (1999-03-18)

	If it helps, here is the routing table :

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
X.Y.19.0        0.0.0.0         255.255.255.224 U     0      0        0
eth1

tr0

eth0 
192.168.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0
eth1 
0.0.0.0         X.Y.54.129      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0
eth0 

	Any ideas / answers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kenneth
