Sure am. Like I said, it worked once before (under 3.0.3 redhat). This
route command does not work for me. There must be something else wrong.
'route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo' gives me:
route: netmask doesn't match route address
How could this be? 'route --version' gives me:

Well, I understand your point. However, because I am behind a
firewall/proxy, and because ppp defines my defaultroute, there really
shouldn't be a problem, right? Nevertheless, I will change my IP address
to represent an unused IP. Isn't there a class C that is also reserved?

Hm.. Guess I'll have to check into that :) As a matter of fact, I just
noticed that RedHat 4.0 doesn't have 'dc' installed at all... It sure
used to work...
