[-- Attachment #1 --] I'm trying to do something nearly impossible.. my TCP/IP knowledge is way too slim for this. here's the situation... bsd box with two nics... one pointing to static cable address, one to 192.168.0.1 LAN address I'm trying to get a local LAN working on the 192.168.0.xxx and have it all route through the BSD box.. I've enabled the router daemon and by some freak chance I got the BSD box to route out... I could never get the LAN to communicate. .. to say nothing about having it route through the BSD box... and here's something else wierd.. I managed to gnarl up the config somehow... the two NICs are setup with the proper addies, and the routing table appears to direct the routing correctly... but when I try to ping out to the cable router I can see the packets go out and return, but the packets lost somewhere. I think my config is just all hosed now. If anyone has done anything similar I would appreciate some advice.. also.. do I need to be setting the machine up as just a router or as a gateway as well? and what system should be the default router?
