Hi John,

The setup you=E2=80=99re describing is pretty standard and should =
=E2=80=9Cjust work=E2=80=9D when configured correctly. It sounds like =
you may have misconfigured one of your interfaces. The output of =
`ifconfig`, `netstat -rn`, and `grep ^ifconfig /etc/rc.conf` would be =
helpful in diagnosing your issue.

Also, I noticed you say your wired interface is a /28 but then state =
it=E2=80=99s configured as a /24. Perhaps this is your issue?
