I don't know if this is a bug or not, but here is the situation.
I'm using a coax network at home with some sun's hp's and my linux server in the attic. On this coax network there's a coax repeater which has an aui port, where I connect an UTP cable which leads to my win2k workstation in the living room. To connect the empeg to the network, I've setup a sun sparcstation 5 running solaris 7 to act as a router between my internal network (192.168.11.0/255.255.255.0) and the empeg (130.144.236.0/255.255.255.0)
The empeg's IP-address is 130.144.236.58
I chose this IP-address because it is the same at work and DHCP doesn't work there.
When I restart player at work there isn't a problem.
When I restart player at home, a second default route is added and the empeg loses it's connections made to hosts outside the 130.144.236 network

output before restart :

empeg:~# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
130.144.236.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
0.0.0.0         130.144.236.1   0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth0

output after restart :

empeg:~# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
130.144.236.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
0.0.0.0         130.144.236.1   0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth0
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth0

Does the player do some kind of route-detection (OSPF) when it is started up ?
here's the IP-section in config.ini :

[Network]
Gateway=130.144.236.1
Netmask=255.255.255.0
IPAddress=130.144.236.58
DHCP=0

with restarting the player, I mean stopping the player executable and restarting it again...

I noticed the same thing. I'm allmost sure this route pops up when starting & quiting the player. I posted my findings in reply to this post (neigbour table overflow)

I made a bypass by doing an "ifconfig eth0 down" before starting the player again. network-connections stay intact...
