I am having a weird problem and hope you can help.
(I realise it's not 100% an ipfw problem, but FreeBSD-Hackers
has WAY too much traffic, and I am running ipfw/natd so it
kinda fits :)

I'm running 4.0-RELEASE and have just switched ISPs.

(The overlap while I have two means I can send this message :)

The old one was an @home connection, plain and simple.

The new one is an ADSL connection, and the specs I was given are

IP : 64.x.y.z
Netmask : 26 bits (255.255.255.192)
Default gateway : 10.10.240.1

This works fine in windows (!) but it won't work in FreeBSD
(and, frankly, I think FreeBSD is 'right' :)

It won't use a default gateway that's not available on a local network.
This is just plain proper : you shouldn't be able to!  how would it
know where it is????

But, that's what I have.  Does anyone know a way of forcing
FreeBSD to acknowledge the presence of a host that is not
on a logical local subnet but is on a physical connection?

Can i force an ARP entry and hope that's enough?

It's a shame this works in windows! :)
