What if I have no need to connect to an outside network. Than routed should be OK. IIRC (I may be wrong), from FreeBSD-3 onwards, gated is used as standard. > Use gated anyway? Gated is considered very much better. But think: you only need them if you have dynamic routes. Static routes a la 'route add -net ...' don't need a daemon at all. Gated for a static home-network is overkill, IMHO. Setting it up may be a good exercise, though :-) cheers, Rainer -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |Rainer Duffner, E-Mail: duffner@fh-konstanz.de | | & Rainer.Duffner@surf24.de | |Fachhochschule Konstanz, Germany | |"What's a Network ?" - Bill Gates, early 1980s | | WWW:http://www-stud.fh-konstanz.de/~duffner | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
