Sending this from Windows application by name of Sendmail ... hopefully it won't mess stuff as badly as Outlook does for people who receive stuff in Pine ..... I'd appreciate any comments on readability from those who read this I'm hoping someone on this list might be able to shed some light on my current problem ... complete info below I've been reading the FreeBSD Handbook and the Network Administrators Guide searching for info but need a bit of additional explanation According to the Handbook (16.1 Advanced Routing) "FreeBSD will also add subnet routes for the local subnet. I guess the line "203.3.126.128/29 link#1 UC fxp0" is what the author meant by that, but I don't understand what is meant by "You will notice no additional interface is specified for those" The author says "Both these groups (local network hosts and local subnets) have their routes automatically configured by a daemon called 'routed', If this is not run, then only routes which are statically defined will exist. OK .... now I'm fairly certain I don't have a 'routed' daemon but no idea how to check, however the fact that ICQ doesn't work & I can't tracert external names suggests there is something amiss with my routing table setup ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks to the efforts of several contributors here I've got my BSD box connecting & staying online apparently permanently now ..... browsers & email clients work from LAN boxes and I can tracert from Win98 LAN machines to outside IP addresses. I've still got what I believe is a routing problem thats stopping ICQ connecting and I figure thats possibly related to an inability to tracert names from LAN boxes I'd appreciate any comments on the results of a netstat -nr default 203.3.126.1 UGSc tun0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH lo0 203.3.126.1 203.3.126.129 UH tun0 203.3.126.128 ff:ff:ff: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
