I asked about how to disable the ethernet port. Well this was not
realy what I wanted to do.  What I wanted to do was suggested
by Hardy  <hardy@golem.ps.uci.edu> who pointed me to the
netmask field of the /etc/hostconfig file.  Having set NetInfo to
use the default netmask I was unhapy to find that It had supplied 
none.  Inserting the netmask 255.255.255.0 solved the routing
problem that I was experiencing and NetInfo even read the change I made
in the file (this shouldnt be surprising but I find it so nonetheless).

Given my misleading clues about the nature of my problem I was also
counselled to remove the broadcasthost from /machines.  This had no 
effect.  I suppose because the packets were not being broadcast but had 
real addresses but masked for the part of the network it thought 
appropriate.

Thank you for the replies.
