G'day... Well, I solved my problem eventually. :) After playing with route get and noticing that the inserted netmask for the subnet routes being added was 255.255.255.255 instead of 255.255.255.248, a few different people read the manual page carefully and eventually spotted that the -netmask parameter had to come *after* the destination (gateway) for it to be applied correctly (doh). So the command : route add -net 203.8.116.40 203.8.116.4 -netmask 255.255.255.248 works, whereas : route add -netmask 255.255.255.248 -net 203.8.116.40 203.8.116.4 does not work. ... Stephen
