I am having a weird problem and hope you can help. (I realise it's not 100% an ipfw problem, but FreeBSD-Hackers has WAY too much traffic, and I am running ipfw/natd so it kinda fits :) I'm running 4.0-RELEASE and have just switched ISPs. (The overlap while I have two means I can send this message :) The old one was an @home connection, plain and simple. The new one is an ADSL connection, and the specs I was given are IP : 64.x.y.z Netmask : 26 bits (255.255.255.192) Default gateway : 10.10.240.1 This works fine in windows (!) but it won't work in FreeBSD (and, frankly, I think FreeBSD is 'right' :) It won't use a default gateway that's not available on a local network. This is just plain proper : you shouldn't be able to! how would it know where it is???? But, that's what I have. Does anyone know a way of forcing FreeBSD to acknowledge the presence of a host that is not on a logical local subnet but is on a physical connection? Can i force an ARP entry and hope that's enough? It's a shame this works in windows! :) Dana Lacoste To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ipfw" in the body of the message
