Routing of a class-c network

Hi,

we need to route a class-c network through a Portmaster 2e serial port :

Local network
---------------- x.x.x.0 / 27 -----------------
|
|
Portmaster
address x.x.x.1
netmask 255.255.255.224
|
| <---- dialup line
|
Router
address 172.16.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
|
|
| remote network
----------------- 172.16.1.0 / 24 -------------

Now the problem:

Portmaster> add route 172.16.1.0 172.16.1.1 1
New route entry successfully added
Portmaster> show routes
Destination Gateway Flag Met Interface
--------------------- -------------------- ---- --- ---------
[...]
172.16.1.0 172.16.1.1 HS 1 ptp31 <======= ????
172.16.1.1 172.16.1.1 HL 1 ptp31
[...]
Portmaster>

The portmaster always shows a hostroute! to the network 172.16.1.0
and a traceroute to 172.16.1.2 ends at the portmaster.

A routingentry like
add route 172.16.0.0 172.16.1.1 1 works fine.

Our OS version is 3.3.2c1.

Any ideas ???

Thanks,

Volker
