FreeBSD's routing is brain-damaged. It doesn't think there's a difference between ARP tables and routing. If your FreeBSD requires any routing for anything other than what's directly connected to your ethernet card on a single network number, you're out of luck. As much as I hate to say it, try Linux. Atleast they didn't dick with IP routing. It's time to change FreeBSD's name to FreeMACOS. The "it does it all for you without you having to know anything operating system. And even if you do know what you're doing forget it, we know better." Patrick : My ISP's network is 205.206.213.0 : My network is 205.150.43.0 : Without routing software, how is the presence of my network : and the path to it announced? : I'm confused! Ignorant too...
