[LUAU] roadrunner troubles

[Myles Uyema]

Thanks for the reply Doug.  Also, I've encountered more peculiarities.
The default route to 24.94.82.1 apparently has disappeared, so now my
routing table looks like this:

route -n:
24.94.82.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.254.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         24.94.83.1      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

and this is causing me no problems. Quite peculiar no? I'm stumped.

traceroute tucows.oceanic.com:
traceroute to tucows.oceanic.com (204.210.97.3), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  Temp82-hfc2.hawaii.rr.com (24.94.82.1)  19.167 ms  17.814 ms  18.915 ms
 2  cisco4-rr.hawaii.rr.com (204.210.96.254)  9.574 ms  14.017 ms  8.259 ms
 3  204.210.97.3 (204.210.97.3)  9.639 ms  14.359 ms  7.24 ms

Oddly enough, traceroute indeed goes through 24.94.82.1, the gateway as
specified by the DHCP server.  So it might be a bug with my linux kernel
regarding networks and masks.  Is the broadcast address set correctly
below?

ifconfig eth0:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:29:1C:AA:6A  
          inet addr:24.94.83.245  Bcast:24.94.83.255  Mask:255.255.254.0
          UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:2065391 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:1203921 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:107366 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:17 Base address:0x6300 

I suppose it _could_ be a problem on my side =) hehe.
I'm suspicious of the MULTICAST flag set for my ethernet device.  My
2.2.3-ac1 kernel is built with multicast support, however I didn't
explicitly set that flag, and I can't seem to turn it off.  Next time I
reboot I'll try a kernel without multicast support.

Anyway, things seem to be working the way they are at the moment.
Weird things.  Weird.
