To followup on my own message I'm seeing similiar behavior with the install floppies from 4.0-RELEASE on this same machine. The netmask options will not stick in the ifconfig screen. I had to open up a holographic shell, manually ifconfig the interface, then manually add the default route, then add "netmask 0xfffffe00 up" to the ifconfig options box in sysinstall to make sure it didn't take dc0 down. Weird. On Tue, 11 Jul 2000, Brandon D.
