For example, i can't ping 192.168.1.40 > from 192.168.1.42. is there any explaination for this? Not that I can think of. There's no reason I can imagine that your local connectivity should suffer from Internet problems. Especially if you're connecting via IP address (which rules out DNS problems). Could you provide 'netstat -rn' and 'ifconfig' output from GATEWAY, please. I don't see anything in the other information you provided that would indicate any sort of misconfig on BSD2. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
