    When I bootup this is what sets up my network/eth0.

    # Network Block: 49.90.8.176 / 28

    # Add loopback
    /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
    /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo

    # Ethernet Config Info
    IPADDR="49.90.8.180"
    NETMASK="255.255.255.240"
    NETWORK="49.90.8.176"
    BROADCAST="49.90.8.191"
    GATEWAY="49.90.8.177"

    /sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}
    /sbin/route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} dev eth0
    /sbin/route add default gw ${GATEWAY} netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1

    It results in this (route command output):

    Kernel IP routing table
    Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
    49.90.8.176 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth0
    49.90.8.176 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 eth0
    49.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
    127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
    0.0.0.0 69.90.8.177 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 0 eth0

    What is causing the net 49.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 to be there? I need to
    remove that, I know I can do a "route del -net..." but I don't want it to be
    there to begin with at bootup. What do I have to change to get rid of that?
    Its causing all packets from any ip thats starts with 49. to go nowhere.

    This is linux 2.4.26/slackware 9.1.

    Thanks.
