I have an interesting problem. I have several Redhat 7.3 systems that
are having problems with their default gateway being set at boot up.

I have two of them side by side. One has a Netmask of 255.255.255.0,
Broadcast of .127 and a Gateway of .65, it doesn't have a problem
setting the gateway when it boots. The other machine has the same
settings, except the Netmask is 255.255.255.192, and it doesn't set it's
default gateway on boot up. Can anyone explain to me why this is? Or
tell me what I have set wrong?
