I've already seen some pretty strange ip addresses trying to send to my 127.0.0.1. But if that wasn't what needed to be done what was? As soon as I added those lines to my /etc/rc.conf and rebooted my client machines were able to access the internet. Before I added them they couldn't even ping the server, although I could telnet to it. Got any suggestions? I haven't done enough troubleshooting to know what else to look for, and my searches in the archives haven't turned up any suggestions. -- Roger To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
