Re: SCO openserver 5.05 Network Gateway troubles

| Thanks John. I never found anylines in /etc/tcp that had the ip-
| address that the server keeps defaulting to. I have dived into this
| issue more and decided to try D.'s answer. I have added a file and
| directory of /usr/internet/etc/sco_ip/routes to the server. I also
| added the line of "net default 10.0.0.1" to the routes file. Now when
| restarted the gateway is fine and there are no problems connecting
| with computers on this side of the sonicwall. I should mention that I
| tried this on a different server that has the same problem the one
| from the original post with ip address of 10.0.0.10
|
| Now what shows is this: When I restart the server (10.0.0.10) the
| netstat -rn command shows
|
| Destination Gateway Flags Refs
| default 10.0.0.1 UGS 0
| 10 10.0.0.10 UC 1
| 10 10.0.0.10 UC 0
|
| there are some more lines also.
|
| When I run the command of "route delete 10.0.0.0" it gets rid of one
| of the duplicate 10.0.0.0 10.0.0.10 lines and the server can be
| accessed fine. Any ideas on where these duplicate Destinations of
| 10.0.0.0 are added from and how to stop them from being added
| automatically?

The route location I gave was for one particular purpose (FastStart).

Someone may have simply forced a route into your startup scripts.

Try this...

# cd /etc/rc2.d
# find . -type f -print|xargs grep route

If it fails to elucidate, expand to...

# cd /etc
# find . -type f -print|xargs grep route
