Yeah, I figured it was more of a Win95 question but I also figured I would be liklier to find a higher level of expertise here than in most WinXX groups. I also figured there are quite likely some unix experts who also know a thing or two about WinXX networking. </asskissing> Assume the FreeBSD box was the dual-homed unit. What would be the route command to enable the routing from the isolated 10.7.1 network to the main 10.7.7 net? Are you saying that as it is, something has to be done on the BSD box to make the directly reachable interface the default router? Or does that have to be done on the Win95 box as well? thanks again, that's (probably) the last I'll ask about it here.
