Hi,
I'm trying to migrate my router from RedHat 7.2 to FreeBSD.
Please see the following scrit - it works fine under linux:
===========
touch /var/lock/subsys/local
sleep 5
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down
sleep 1
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 193.108.24.75 netmask 255.255.255.255 up
sleep 2
/sbin/route add -host 193.108.24.145 eth0
/sbin/route add default gw 193.108.24.145
/sbin/route add -net 192.168.17.0/24 eth0

============

I could never make that work for FREEBSD.

ifconfig fxp0 down
ifconfig fxp0 193.108.24.75 netmask 255.255.255.255 up
route add -host 193.108.24.75 193.108.24.145 255.255.255.255
or
route add -host 193.108.24.75 193.108.24.145

Looks impossible at freebsd...It says Network Unreachable. I read the man page 
of route; It says this happens when the host is more than one hop away. But it 
is working with my old RedHat.


Typing just:

route add -host 193.108.24.75 193.108.24.145

works, but I need 255.255.255.255 mask to have inet access

I posted to the local group but  the only guy that anaswered me says that it 
is not possible.

Please help,
I just can't believe that freebsd can not do it.

Thanks in advance,
BIVOL
