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.
