Hi Nick,

The syntax above is for Windows NT!  Not for Linux.

In Redhat, at least, you'd use:

route add -host 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 gw 127.0.0.1

But I think that's not what's needed here.

Try:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast \
   192.168.1.255 
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up
