To specify the host at the other end of the link as the gateway is pointless and redundant as there is no other choice, so you do not need to specify a gateway for these types of network connections. Other network types such as ethernet, arcnet or token ring do require the gateway to be specified as these networks support large numbers of hosts on them. ======================================================== route del -net 0.0.0.0 gw 198.144.195.41 eth1 fetchipac - ip accounting kernel data and database handler ipac-ng ipacsum
