HI

I started using XORP a few days ago.
I installed it on a few machines and i would like to get them to 
communicate with each other.

For:  "show bgp peers detail" i get something like

 Peer ID: 10.1.1.3
  Peer State: ESTABLISHED
  Admin State: START
  Negotiated BGP Version: 4
  Peer AS Number: 65002
  Updates Received: 0,  Updates Sent: 0
  Messages Received: 49,  Messages Sent: 49
  Time since last received update: n/a
  Number of transitions to ESTABLISHED: 3
  Time since last entering ESTABLISHED state: 1247 seconds
  Retry Interval: 120 seconds
  Hold Time: 90 seconds,  Keep Alive Time: 30 seconds
  Configured Hold Time: 90 seconds,  Configured Keep Alive Time: 30 seconds
  Minimum AS Origination Interval: 0 seconds
  Minimum Route Advertisement Interval: 0 seconds
for each of them.

and when i type show bgp routes i don't get anything.
It seems the peers are not advertising anything although in the .boot 
files i have something like
        network4 10.1.12.0/24 {
            next-hop: 10.1.12.2
            unicast: true
            multicast: true
        }
and all peers are successfully connected.

What would be the cause of this?
Thank you
Florin
