This is the wrong way round. You want to enter: # route delete 10.1 # route delete 10.1 (same again) # netstat -rn The two routes above should then be gone. Then enter: # route add 10.1 127.1 # route add 10.2 10.1 # netstat -rn You should then have the routes > 10.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 => > 10.0.0.2/32 10.0.0.1 UGSc 0 0 lp0 > # > # 6x86 (sage) > # > lp0: flags=8851<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 > inet 10.0.0.2 --> 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 Your local address is 10.2, the remote address is 10.1. That's correct, too. > tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 296 > sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 > lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 > Routing tables > > Internet: > Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire > 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 UH 0 0 lo0 => > 10.0.0.1/32 10.0.0.2 UGSc 0 0 lp0 Again, you have the IP addresses the wrong way round. Do as above. You *should* then see: Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire 10.0.0.2 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 => 10.0.0.1/32 10.0.0.2 UGSc 0 0 lp0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 749 lo0 You can really write the IP addresses as just two digits with a . in between, as shown. After that, you should be able to ping. Let me see the output again, whether or not it works, and we'll move on.
