When I configure a gif interface, why can't I ping the local endpoint on the inside of the tunnel? I've just been through hell and back trying to get some IPSec tunnels created (they're working now, thanks to all those who helped me out), and this was one of my big stumbling blocks -- since I couldn't ping the local or remote endpoint of the gif tunnel, I spent much time chasing down problems with gif when it wasn't a problem at all. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
