Cc: kavitha@watson.ibm.com Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk 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
