The above network configuration is incorrect - you need a gateway that is directly reachable. If you want to use the above default route, you need to give your machine an address on the same network as your gateway, most trivially by aliasing it onto the vr0 interface. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
