You have the same network (10.1.6.0/24) in two physicaly splitted ethernet segements. Either use different networks or don't expect them to route. There are other possibilities such as NAT or bridging, but I doubt that's what you really want to do. > so that was the problem, is it possible with freeBSD ? if yes , what I guess you are missing some basic knowledge about TCP/IP routing.

You simply requesting an impossible thing. It's much easier to tell you right if you would explain your intentions. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
