Networking problems

[weezle]

Hello All,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with what is probably a very easy task but I can't seem to solve it.

How do I remove a rejected host that shows up in /sbin/route on another system? At one time I had portsentry running which probably tossed the host in the reject list in /etc/hosts.deny file. I removed the host and restarted the network services but that did not remove the host from the route?

Any ideas?

route del <ip addr>

Thanks for the post, however, when I tried your suggestion - here's what I got:

SIOCDELRT: No such process

That error message usually occurs when you try to delete a route that doesn't exist. What is the output from 'route -n'

try 'route del -host <ip addr> reject'

I do appreciate your input but...I have 2 other devices on the network and they are able to see each other (can access shares) and when I try to ping the "problem" nt box I get, network is unreachable. And the NT box can browse the shares on the other box but not the one that has the reject route flag..
