You have a default route, via the tun0 interface, what's wrong ? What is wrong is that I don't undertand *WHY* it works. I understand that tun0 has the public IP address. I am quite sure that the DSL modem is connected to this computer via the NIC vr0. I checked this by setting up a ping to yahoo.com. There are two NICs in this box. If I unplug xl0, the pings continues. If I unplug vr0, the pings stop. I therefore conclude that I conclude that tun0 is routing out via vr0. How does that work if vr0 has no IP address? -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary - http://freebsddiary.org/ - practical examples To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
