The only thing I did in this regard was to set defaultrouter to "1.2.3.1". I'm not knowledgeable enuf to do my own routes yet. > ** How come this doesn't have 192/169.0/24? > > Also, I noticed you are using encryption.

Until I can do this, I have no way of knowing if *anything* is working, so I don't *use* anything other than the essential utils at the keyboard. But I will disable the gateway and natd until I can at least PING something.... -- Jetman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
