Maybe someone could help or point me in the right direction? Here goes: I've got FreeBSD 4.7 set up with 2 netcards. One is 192.168.99.2 and the other 195.15.176.2 and I've got routing between them enabled. I cannot ping the 192.168.99.2 card even from the console. Put I can browse the web from the machine (I've got X with KDE set up) and also ping other machines on the network. Somehow I broke something, but can't find what.
