[HPADM] Dead Gateway Detection

Hi!

My ISP started to block icmp protocol, and HP-UX 11.0 stoped routing through default gateway, which belongs to my ISP. I learned about HP-UX Dead Gateway Detection, and set ip_ire_gw_probe to 0 with "ndd -set /dev/ip ip_ire_gw_probe 0" command, and did "ndd -c" after that. But that didn't help. I tried "/sbin/init.d/net stop" and then "sbin/init.d/net start", but it didn't work. Reboot didn't help either.

I have two questions:
1. What else should I do to make it work?
2. When my gateway is dead, network applications run very slowly(i guess because of long timeouts). How is it possible to decrease those timeouts?

Thank you for your time,
bt
