I called RCN (my cable provider) and asked them to give me a gateway on the same subnet; they said they "don't do that". Part of solution: I set an alias for ed0 to 10.17.0.1 and it accepted the cable modem gateway as is. BUT, the packets are sent out with source address (10.17.0.1) responses to which, I suspect, gateway doesn't know how to route. Question: how can I have an alias of 10.17.0.1 and send out all packets with source address set to 208.59.162.242 (the IP that is actually assigned to the interface - not alias). Thanks for any help you can give. Marko P.S. Alternately, how can I force the system to allow a gateway that is on a different subnet (like windows allows that). Who can I turn to for help ?
