Now of course, this is also the gateway and dhcp server. The problem is trying to get FreeBSD to use this private address as the gateway for the live address. This config works for windows and they claim mac OS, but I can't get it to work for FreeBSD. I've tried ifconfig default, but that returns NO ROUTE TO HOST, and I've thougth about using an alias on the NIC, but that would send it out with the private network address and not be able to find its way home. Any of you network wizards out there have the proper spell to get this working???
