Servers not finding route to each other

Hi,
I have 2 oracle servers that lose connectivity with each other, but they
can communicate perfectly with other machines on the networks. The
difference between these machines, and the others is a line in route print
“255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 10.0.0.5 10004 1�.. Does anyone know what
is 10004 interface and what would cause this entry? And could it be the
source of the connectivity problems between the machines? below is a print
out of the route print on one of the servers.

Since you have no Static Routes to worry about, you can do this.

1. Verify the TCP/IP "specs" of the Nics are correct (extremely important)
2. At a command prompt run "route /f" (clears the route table)
3. Reboot. The table is rebuilt automatically based on the Nic configuration
(hence why the nic config must be correct).
