To find out if you have a routing problem use traceroute rather than ping to find out which way the packets appear to be going. You may have a bad default route on the FreeBSD box, or even bad routing information provided via rip (if your running routed) or any other routing protocol you are using. Something is wrong, that is for sure, given the above information. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
