Hmm, still missing the eh0 under Netif for the 192.168 route. Note
that changes you make with *route and *ifconfig are reset with a
reboot.

Not a reboot. I just ended the InetSuite connection and dialled to
reconnect; I didn't even quit InetSuite.

Referring to your other post, '*route' does give rather cryptic error
messages. It can say "File exists" if you try to add a /route/ that
already exists; "No such process" (and "No such file/file not found"
too, I think) if you try to change or delete a non-existent route. I
actually got a "Disc quota exceeded" from it a moment ago!

Try deleting the route then adding:

*route delete -net 192.168.0/24
*route add -net 192.168.0/24 192.168.0.11 -iface

Note that I've introduced an extra "-iface" to the command, which does
appear to be necessary in my tests. And I'm identifying the route
differently: 192.168.0/24 instead of just 192.168.

Also try deleting the router-specific route:

*route delete -host 192.168.0.1

All problematic:

*route delete -net 192.168.0/24
192.168.0/24: bad value
*route add -net 192.168.0/24 192.168.0.11 -iface
192.168.0/24: bad value
*route delete -host 192.168.0.1
Route: writing to routing socket: No such process
