I don't know about RH7.x, but for RH6.2 you would use the line: any net 10.0.3.0 255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.0.10 If it's different on 7.x, you can deduce the format from the network startup script (e.g. /etc/rc.d/init.d/network). Note that specifying both "gw" and "dev" is redundant. If you specify a gateway, the device is automatically determined from the gateway address. -- Glynn Clements <glynn.clements@virgin.net> - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
