[root@cc9 default]# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table

my box's MSS is zero.

does this makes any problem?

Din't think so, it's zero here as well...

No, here is what a normal looking netstat looks like

$ netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

Normal as sunshine -- unless you're in Seattle ;-)

MSS (max segment size) for this static output is pretty meaningless as
it can/will likely vary along any non-local transmission path. Check
out some of the advanced networking and routing howto's to get a sense
of it's role. For the seriously curious, RFCs are the way to go if
Stevens' _TCP/IP_Illustrated_ is not available.
