I can ping and use IP to do whatever I like from the machine. However I can not ping it or access it from another machine. I am using a ten net address with the default class c mask. I notice that if I run netstat -r that while netstat is running the BSD box is pingable from another machine. I can ftp to the machine. When netstat -r stops I lose my connection. What is happening here? This is a fresh install. Do I need to tell the BSD box who it can trust to respond to? Please e-mail you answer to me at rwebster@tns-inc.com. Thank you very much in advance. I've been playing with this for a while and am now pretty frustrated. email: rwebster@tns-inc.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
