My CA FreeBSD box config: defaultrouter="192.168.2.1" At startup, I also do: /sbin/route add 192.168.1.0 192.168.2.1 This successfully routes any traffic bound for the MN LAN via the Savvis-supplied Lucent WAN router. As I said before, I can ping back and forth between both LAN's. Based on what you said, I have created a static route for the MN LAN in CA and put the default route in CA across the WAN link. I'm missing something because I can't ping anything on the Internet from CA (I can ping public IP's from the MN LAN). -Eric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
