I know this may be an easy one but can anyone tell me the commands to get my sco unix box to recognise other subnets in the network?

routing 101
lets say your unix machine is 192.168.1.5 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 , without a default route or gateway machine you will only see hosts in the 192.168.1.x range.
if your other subnets are on the same physical network (not likely but possible) then either reduce your netmask or:
route add -net 192.168.2.0 192.168.1.5
if your other subnets are on the other side of a gateway or router device then add a route to that device ( 192.168.1.1)
route add -net 192.168.2.0 192.168.1.1
or
route add default 192.168.1.1
(syntax might depend on which flavour of SCO you have)
