Flushing the IP routing table

[John Austin]

Odd looking netmask !!!! on first entry
Should it be 255.255.255.0 ?

To delete that entry 
route del -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 eth0

to replace with correct? one
route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0

To add a default route then something like
 
route add default gw 192.168.0.254

But better still edit
/etc/sysconfig/network/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
to contain the correct info
Something like

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
IPADDR=192.168.0.??		machine IP
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
GATEWAY=192.168.0.254		Maybe

Stop and start networking using
service network restart

All as root of course!
