Nic,

You are able to set the community via a network statement as follows:
Router bgp xxx
network 202.92.64.0 mask 255.255.240.0 route-map SYDNEYNETS01
neighbor x.y.z.a send-community
!
route-map SYDNEYNETS01 permit 10
 set community 9837:40000

This show reveals that the community attribute is added to this prefix:

border-gw01#show ip bgp community 9837:40000 | include 202.92.64.0
*>i202.92.64.0/19 202.92.64.238 0 100 0 i

                Hi there!

                I am encountering a special behaviour from BGP!

                Can it really be true that one can only set the community on
the neighbor
                statement?
                I have tried to do it by adding a route-map on the network
statement but
                that does not work - As soon as it is set on the neighbor
statement it works
                like a dream!

                Nic
