SubjectRe: howto disable auto route setup?
Hello,

> No. 255.255.254.0 is not legal for a Class C network (194.111.0) as a
> subnet mask on an interface.

Network classes have been obsoleted by CIDR many years ago. A network
is defined by a network prefix and prefix length.

On the other hand, there still exist devices/programs which don't
undertand CIDR addressing properly. A typical example is Novell Netware 4.x :(

Have a nice fortnight
