Cross" Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I recently tried (for the first time) to get gif running under FreeBSD 4.3-BETA (cvsup-ed yesterday). I noticed the following: gifconfig gif0 inet 10.1.1.1 10.1.2.1 ifconfig gif0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 and then I 'ping 192.168.1.1' it will try to route the packet instead of reply directly. I need to 'route add 192.168.1.1 127.0.0.1' to have it reply to the packet directly. I don't need to do this for other types of interfaces... did I mess something up, is this how it is supposed to be (doesn't seem to be documented as such). -- David Cross | email: crossd@cs.rpi.edu Lab Director | Rm: 308 Lally Hall Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, | Ph: 518.276.2860 Department of Computer Science | Fax: 518.276.4033 I speak only for myself. | WinNT:Linux::Linux:FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
