Hi,

I'm trying to connect to a network device, with the connection follwoing the UNIX routing table we set up. Its to go via a specific network Gateway and out throught a specific Lan card (Lan4). However when trying to conenct it keeps going through Lan3 and will not get to its destination.
The application will use ftp so giving the option of a Lan is not available.

Any ideas why it would route it self, ie, not following the routing config?

Happy Sunday!!!!!

Hi,
This is on a HP-UX 11i.

$/etc/: ifconfig -a
$/etc/: ifconfig: no such interface

and for route -n I don't have enough permissions, must be a super user.

Thanks anyhow, always a speedy response.

Cheers,

You have answered your own question, indirectly.

If you working on a commercial system and not the superuser (like your HPUX system) you should have the superuser to work on routing problems.

Thanks for posting.
