I have a new installation of FreeBSD. I have two network cards in the machine and both are functioning. They reside on two separate subnets. I am trying to get the FreeBSD machine to route between the two subnets. I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2. I have gateway_enable="YES", router_enable="YES" router="routed" and route_flags="-s". Using ficticious numbers I have subnet 10.1.1.96 one one side of the machine and 10.2.1.96 on the other side. Both with a 27 bit mask (I know it shouldn't matter). Let's say that the FreeBSD machine is 10.1.1.97 and 10.2.1.97. From the 10.1.1.96 network I can ping 10.2.1.97 but I can't ping any other addresses on the 10.2.1.96 network. From the 10.2.1.96 network I can't even ping 10.1.1.97, which is really baffling. If anyone sees anything I could possibly have done wrong or has any suggestions on how to track down the problem I would really appreciate it. Alex Weeks aweeks@capitalland.com
