I currently have two computers, one FreeBSD and one OpenBSD, behind a
switch and cable modem.  Each has its own static IP and both are on
different subnets of @Home.  Recently @Home is having some problems
where my computers can't talk to each other via their default routes. 
They have good connectivity everywhere else in the world :(  

I'd like to add a direct route from one computer to the other.  I've
tried:

route add -host a.b.c.d -interface fxp0   on one computer and 
route add -host e.f.g.h -interface xl0    on the other.

But this doesn't work and I get kernel messages about some arp problem. 
I'm wondering what is the proper way to do this?  (Other than just going
out and buying a router or using NAT.)

Thanks,  Rob.
