What "File exists" means is that you have already set your default route. So, look through your rc files and see where that route is being added and comment out that line. This happened once to me when I was using DHCP, and left the: defaultrouter="192.168.0.1" line in /etc/rc.conf --bhishan > On startup I get: > > add net default: gateway 10.0.1.6 > route: writing to routing socket: File exists > add net 10.0.4.0 gateway 10.0.4.1: File exists > > I couldn't find anything about this in the route man page.
