    Kevin, U R DA MAN. That worked perfectly! I put in a network statement
for 170.100.2.0 that was in the table, then used the aggregate, summary only
command as you suggested.
    Thanks for the help!

into a 170.0.0.0/8 without a static. No knob in IGRP like with OSPF that I
could find. The only thing I could come up with was a static to null 0,
which I understand is points off on the real lab.
