Answer A, however, answer B sounds feasible.. ;) No x.y.1.q/24 host can reach x.y.0.z/24 on the same physical net without further provisions (like a gateway or aliassed IP's). Try putting hostB in the 10.10.0-net or use a netmask /16 (255.255.0.0). Regards, Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
