Thanks To Guy for a very quick responce, Again this groups shows it's speed.
As he pointed out it's an ICMP redirect I needed to turn off in the kernel.
He sent me the procedure below, but I had a problem when I left the
"/dev/kmem". After removing it I was able to edit the kernel and reboot the
system ok.

Thanks for the help,

Scott Johnson
