Hello,
I'm using FreeBSD 2.1.0 on Thinkpad. When I create a host specific route
to a machine on the directly connected network I'm not able to ping that
machine.
Here is the scenario:
IP address of machine1 (FreeBSD thinkpad) : 129.34.78.1
IP address of machine2 (FreeBSD thinkpad) : 129.34.78.2
Both are on same physical net.
When I create a host-specific route to 129.34.78.2 from 129.34.78.1
by " add route 129.34.78.2 129.34.78.1"
it doesn't work. i.e. the route is created but I'm not able to ping each other.
I know that I don't need to create to a route to ping each other, as they
are on the same physical net. But my project requires that I create a host
specific route with some special flags. I tried to give different subnet
addresses to these machines, even that doesn't work
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kavitha
