After 180 seconds without an update it removes all info from its tables. Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 782d, resetting... made me think it might not have gotten an update. RIP is the oldest and lowest level form of routing except for static routing. thanx, bill will work for cash and other incentives [link\|http://home.tampabay.rr.com/boxley/resume/Resume.html\|skill set] "Money for jobs?

The whole point of IP was redundancy, as in multiple routes from A to B, so that if some of the intermediate points got nuked, data could still flow by a rearrangement of routes. For this to work, routers have to know what their neighbors are doing. RIP works via a periodic broadcast mechanism, like NetBIOS. The problem with this is - if something major gets horked, it can take a long time for the network to stabilize. The modern solution is called OSPF, "Open Shortest Path First", which uses a completely different base algorithm that settles down rapidly in case of major horkings. Here's an introduction: [link\|http://www.networkcomputing.com/unixworld/feature/002.html\|http://www.networkco.../feature/002.html] -drl
