How perculiar! We've not been able to get RIP updates (after the
first) from our Welfleet from OSx 4.4c to 5.1 (though we skipped 5.0).
A Sun Sparc 1+ on the same ethernet segment gets the initial and 3
minute updates without problems.

I now have a default route in /etc/gateways pointing to the Welfleet
that hides us from the rest of the campus network. It works, sort of -
I really used to like getting the occasional network unreachable
message.

Do you get the original set of gateway broadcasts that routed requests
as it fires up?

Let me know if you get a resolution to this problem.
