How is this supposed to work? You can't be your own gateway, you need to point this route to another machine on your net. If your machine is in both nets (on the same wire), you need an alias address. Better quote a little more about your topology. p.s.: I don't think this makes a good PR at all, it's probably something that you should have asked in freebsd-questions@freebsd.org first. Do only report bugs if you know they are bugs. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
