Hello Debian Users,

I have a network issue that I find perplexing:

When I do: # netstat -r -n

or

# route

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway  Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
0.0.0.0       10.80.2.85  0.0.0.0     UG     0    0          0 eth0
10.80.2.84  0.0.0.0  255.255.255.252 U  0    0          0 eth0

This translates as "For 10.80.2.84 to 10.80.2.87, talk directly to the host, otherwise gateway through 10.80.2.85".

You don't mention how this route has been allocated, though. Are you using DHCP and these routes are being offered to you by a router? Have you entered them manually in /etc/network/interfaces?


But when I check it through my windows box it comes up as it should,
according to my ISP, with the gateway being 10.80.2.86

Again, you don't detail how Windows has got this information.

At the moment, the problem could simply be that you mis-typed one or other of the IP addresses when entering them.


What is happening? Is it allowed to be that slack, one or the other?

TIA
Charlie
