Thanks for the info. I added the route to the FreeBSD box and it can now ping the notebook computer but NOT vice versa (i.e. notebook cannot ping the FBSD box.) Any idea what might be wrong? Thanks. BTW, I did set the Win2K's 2nd NIC's gateway to 172.16.0.1. Sorry for the typo.

The freebsd machine dosn't know where to send packets for 192.168.0.2 to - add a static route like: route add -net 192.168.0.0/24 172.16.0.2 (i'm guessing the netmask there, it may be /16). Also the win2k box will need ip forwarding enabled (routing). (i have no idea how to do that - i've only used win2k breifly). I'm confused by the win2k machine having two default gateways - 172.16.0.2 and 172.16.0.1 - it should only need 172.16.0.1. I wrote a very basic guide to tcpip routing for consume.net - it describes almost exactly the problem you are having, you can find it here: http://pointless.net/~jasper/consume/docs/my-docs/routeing-intro.html > .-------------. > ( Internet ) > .------+------. > | > | > +------+------+ > | Cable Modem | > +------+------+ > | > | > +-------+--------+ <-- NIC (rl0): (DHCP) get ip from comcast > | FreeBSD 4.5 | > | Running natd. | > +-------+--------+ <-- NIC (fxp0): Private IP: 172.16.0.1 > | > | > | > +-------+--------+ <-- NIC: Private IP: 172.16.0.2 > | | Default Gateway: 172.16.0.1 > | Windows 2000 | > | | > +-------+--------+ <-- Wireless Adapter (D-Link DWL-120 USB) > | IP: 192.168.0.1 > | Default Gateway: 172.16.0.1 > | > +---..))) > > > (Wireless LAN, Ad-Hoc mode) > > > +---..))) > | > | > +------------------+ <-- Wireless Adapter (D-Link DWL-120 USB) > | Notebook - WinXP | IP: 192.168.0.2 > +------------------+ Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
