If my BSD box is = X.X.X.2 and the DSL router is X.X.X.1 and the BSD box is set default = route X.X.X.1 and the LAN computers are set to have their gateway X.X.X.2= (the BSD box), and gateway is enabled, why the heck won't BSD pass the = packets like a gateway to the default route ? I shouldn't even need two = NICs. what does sysctl -a | grep forward show ? i.e. do you have ip forwarding enabled. Also, a better diagram with real IP numbers (they can be mapped to RFC1918 space) would go a long way in helping to understand what the problem may be. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) =09 Sentex Communications Corp, =09 Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers=20 could setup a national IP network."
