Thanks for the following person who replies, it's a great list, Very Penguin [dt1649651@yahoo.com] Hans Schaechl [hans.schaechl@kippdata.de] Steve Sandau [ssandau@bath.tmac.com] Todd Urie [rtu@alumni.rowan.edu] Serguei Borkov [sborkov@yahoo.com] Kevin Reichhart [KReichhart@Yantra.com] most of them suggest to check /etc/netmasks file. it donot seem to solve the problem, that file is used to specify the networks to which the local host belongs. what I want is to see is if there is a configuration file I can update to add an static routing entry in the routing table during boot up process. when the system is rebooted, seems it remembers the routing entry somewhere but it remembered it incorrectly. e.g my host is 10.2.202.60/255.255.254.0, there is a line in /etc/netmasks file on my host: 10.0.0.0 255.255.254.0. before reboot my host, I added a routing entry in the routing table, (10.2.202.99 is the gateway) 216.100.62.0 255.255.254.0 10.2.202.99 after rebooting my host, that entry was changed to: 216.100.62.0 255.255.255.0 10.2.202.99 Serguei Borkov said: the only way to add a static route is through rc scripts. ----------------------------------- Very Penguin said: Same place to check : /etc/netmasks oyu must have at least this line in /etc/netmasks 216.100.62.0 255.255.254.0 besides the script that adds that static route somewhre in rc* ----------------------------------- Todd Urie said: I'm taking a guess here, but it looks like Solaris is setting the subnet mask back to the normal class C value. 216.100.62.0 is a Class C address which carries a defualt subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Looks like Solaris considers that 255.255.254 subnet mask to be invalid because it is 'less' than the default. You can subnet more bits than the default, but not less. I'm not very knowledgable about CIDR or variable length subnet masks (VLSM). Use of these, if Solaris supports it, might make my above explanation invalid.
