I know two facts about routing tables: (1) They are definitely needed by a router; (2) They can be shown with netstat -rn command. I am not sure whether a normal host that is not configured as a gateway (TCP/IP gateway == router, right?) should have a routing table. Anyway, my machine (not a router) does display a small routing table with "netstat -rn". So is a routing table needed for a normal host that is not a router? Why? Thanks for any help. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
