    I'm not able to add new routes

    Hi!
    I have next problem.
    When I try to add a new route or delete a route to my Linux Server 2.4.21-20.EL i686 i386 GNU/Linux
    I get next error
    Code:
    #route add -net 127.0.0.0
    SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument

    [root@webdev root]# route del -net 169.254.0.0
    SIOCDELRT: Invalid argument

    What could be wrong?

    Tanks.

    Look at the man page for route -- your syntax isn't correct.
    Code:
    route add default gw 0.0.0.0 dev eth0
    is the proper syntax to add a default gateway for your first NIC (as an example).

    1) "It doesn't work..." is simply not useful information.
    2) Don't cross post!
    3) If you are asking for help, start by telling us your distro/os and version.
