Hi, I have a little problem (again...): When booting BSD, /etc/netstart executes: route add 224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface $hostname This statement was there from the beginning. The comment says: set interface for multicasts to default interface this needs to happen before router discovery Does anyone know what this route add does. I don't understand what the 224.0.0.0 stands for... And most important: When executing this statemant the system hangs for about 60-70 seconds. After that the system continues and the route is added, according to netstat -r Bye!
