My local network (192.168.1.0) consists of two machine BSD1 (192.168.1.40) and BSD2 (192.168.1.42). Both of these machines use the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.254. There is a third machine GATEWAY (192.168.1.254, ip address from isp) has two nics and acts as the router. All of these machine are connected to a switch locally. When my internet connection goes down for whatever reason I loose connections in my local network. For example, i can't ping 192.168.1.40 from 192.168.1.42. is there any explaination for this? ifconfig from BSD2: rl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.42 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::250:baff:fe60:8486%rl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:50:ba:60:84:86 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active netstat from BSD2: Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 192.168.1.254 UGSc 2 0 rl0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 24 lo0 192.168.1 link#1 UC 4 0 rl0 192.168.1.40 00:50:ba:58:92:1a UHLW 0 142 rl0 1047 192.168.1.200 00:f0:4c:39:0c:21 UHLW 0 8 rl0 797 192.168.1.254 00:50:ba:ae:be:fa UHLW 3 0 rl0 1110 192.168.1.255 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb 3 128 rl0 Internet6: Destination Gateway Flags Netif Expire ::1 ::1 UH lo0 fe80::%rl0/64 link#1 UC rl0 fe80::250:baff:fe60:8486%rl0 00:50:ba:60:84:86 UHL lo0 fe80::%lo0/64 fe80::1%lo0 Uc lo0 fe80::1%lo0 link#6 UHL lo0 ff01::/32 ::1 U lo0 ff02::%rl0/32 link#1 UC rl0 ff02::%lo0/32 ::1 UC lo0 Thanks again, Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
