From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: I have my linux box running as a Samba server networked to a windows XP box. The XP box connects to the net via a USB modem and has internet connection sharing enabled. The network configurations on my linux box have the XP box as the gateway and primary DNS, and the static network route is: destination network: the IP of the XP box netmask: 255.255.255.0 gateway: <blank> On average once a day the internet connection on the linux box does not work, and when I look at the eth0 settings the static network route information has disappeared. Once I re-enter it and save it the 'net comes back. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: No idea - as far as I can tell, it just happens. Additional info:

Because the network doesn't work if I don't.
can you please attach the output of: # redhat-config-network-cmd

I've been having a poke around, and I think this might already have been fixed: it hasn't done it for a few days now, which co-incides with running up2date for the first time in ages. I'm still getting the "Static routes file eth0 is invalid" error when I look at my config (as above) but the route isn't stored and it doesn't affect either internet connection sharing or file/printer sharing. Many thanks for your time, I don't want to waste any more of it if this has been fixed already...
