Yes I realize about the 10.0... and 192.168.... not being routed matter. Previosly I always setup the network but never run out of IP address in the same range(192.168.0.*). It happened this time. Therefore I created the 192.168.1.* network but now it wont route. I can use NAT for that purpose but that would defeat communication between the 192.168.1.* and 192.168.0.* networks(there are a bunch of ftp and samba file/print servers in the 1.* network). I mean if I use nat: 192.168.0.* Connect > 192.168.1.* = No success 192.168.0.* < Connect 192.168.1.* = Success > On Tuesday, 30 September 2003 at 21:33:43 -0400, > freebsd@killersolutions.com wrote: >> Dear FreeBSD users, >> >> I urgenly need to connect 192.168.1.* network to the internet.
