Hi. We have a server running SCO UNIX 5.0.5. The ip address is 172.25.1.7. There is another company that connects through the hospital’s network (not sure how they are configured). They run their software on our UNIX server. The hospital told us ourdefault gateway on the server should be 172.25.0.1. Things worked fine for years until they upgraded their switches/routers. Since doing so, the new equipment must be sending out broadcasts that are changing our routing table on the UNIX server. Youlose connection to the other office and have to type: route flush. This is the output you get:
default 172.25.3.121 done
hoc localhost done
206.127.80 172.25.253.4 done
206.127.100 172.25.252.2 done
You then type:
/etc/route add default 172.25.0.1 and everything starts working again but this problem keeps happening. The hospital pleads not guilty and I don’t know what to shut off on our UNIX server so it won’t accept the bad information from their equipment. Any ideas?
