Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Morning... I just setup an 'internal, at home' network of two machines, hooked together with a single 10baseT ethernet cable, no hub. Machine A (with modem) is configured as 192.168.0.1, Machine B is 192.168.0.2. Now, if I try to telnet from Machine B to A, with no default route set, it works fine. As soon as I set a default route for machine B to point at Machine A, it no longer works. *If* I startup 'ppp -auto -alias ', the routing works fine *but* I'd prefer not to have to keep the connection up 24/7... I've gone over everything I can think of, but can't find anything obviously wrong...when everything is up, I can telnet to remote hosts from the 'hidden' machine, so everything appears to be fine... Both machines are running 3.0, one SNAP, the other about a month old, if that means anything...? Thanks for any help you can provide... Marc G.
