The 205 addresses are public internet address. In /etc/rc.conf: network_interfaces="ep0 sl0 lp0" ifconfig_ep0="inet 192.30.2.125 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_sl0="inet 192.30.2.125 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_sl0="inet 192.30.2.125 netmask 255.255.255.0" (that's right, two sl's) ifconfig_lo0="inet 192.30.2.125 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="205.218.124.1" But netstat -r is very short: localhost localhost 192.30.2 link#2 I can ping any 192 address, but 205 is unreachable. Obviously there is no route, but why, and how to fix? And isn't that route supposed to say "192.30.2.0"? When I try "route add default gw" as described on page 319 of the complete Freebsd, I get: route: bad address: gw TIA!
