To whom it may concern, Good Afternoon. We would like to upgrade our FreeBSD from version 2.1.0 to version 2.2.2. Our old machine (version 2.1.0) is functioning as our gateway to the internet. In configuring the old version to become a gateway just simply enable it in /etc/sysconfig gateway = "YES" and compile the kernel with the option "option GATEWAY". In version 2.2.2 the "option GATEWAY" is already obsolete just enable the "gateway_enable=YES" in /etc/rc.network file. When i tested it as a gateway I received an error "<hostname> routed [63] punt RTM_LOSING without gateway". Is there any setting that I should set specifically in the kernel? Kindly help me with this, because I want to migrate to the new version. Also about the static_route. In version 2.1.0, the static_route is already specified in /etc/sysconfig. In version 2.2.2 /etc/rc.conf file it is blank. Can I just copy the static_route entry from /etc/sysconfig to /etc/rc.conf? Because when I don't specify the static route I can receive an error like this "<host name> routed [61]: sendto (ep0, 224.0.0.2) : No route to host. What is the address 224.0.0.2 used for ? Hope you can help me.
