route

[Pau Amaro-Seoane]

Hi,

I am sitting in a building and in order to have access to the network
of another building I have been told to do the following:

route add -net xxx.169.58.0 netmask 255.255.255.158 gw xxx.xxx.72.2

but, of course, this is for linuxy...

I get "route: netmask: bad address". I thought this was due to "gw"
but, when specifying "gateway", the result is the same...

any help? newbies, newbies, remember...

thanks

Pau
