Hi, I'm having difficulting with routing which searching the mailing lists and reading the man page have not helped. My fbsd machine (A) is on the same physical segment behind a hub with 2 other machines (B,C). Machines A/B/C each have a real IP, but the IPs are not on the same subnet (due to stupid cable modem IP distribution). I've gotten B/C to see each other directly with the route command in DOS, but I haven't been able to get an equivalent route add command working for FreeBSD. I would like to know where I'm getting it wrong. I've tried: (1) route add -host <B.ip> -interface de0 (1) gives me: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire gw 0:40:5:43:34:24 UHLW 0 7937 lo0 <B.ip> 0:40:5:43:34:24 UHLS 0 0 de0 Shouldn't the ethernet address for the gateway to B be B's, not gw's? (2) route add -host <B.ip> -interface <A.ip> (2) gives me: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire gw 0:40:5:43:34:24 UHLW 0 7937 lo0 <B.ip> gw UHS 0 0 de0 and a /kernel: arp_rtrequest: bad gateway value (3) route add -host <B.ip> <A.ip> (3) gives: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire gw 0:40:5:43:34:24 UHLW 0 7937 lo0 <B.ip> gw UGHS 0 0 de0 traceroute to <B.ip> (<B.ip>), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 gw (<A.ip>) 1.762 ms 0.812 ms 0.769 ms 2 gw (<A.ip>) 1.379 ms 1.340 ms 1.315 ms (4) route add -host <B.ip> -netmask 255.255.255.255 <A.ip> (4) gives: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire gw 0:40:5:43:34:24 UHLW 0 7937 lo0 <B.ip> gw UGSc 0 0 de0 This gives the same traceroute as (3). The only way I've been able to see B from A (or C from A) is to set the netmask on A's de0 to 255.254.0.0 and broadcast to <A.ip.255> so that I get a routing table of: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire 24/15 link#1 UC 0 0 de0 gw 0:40:5:43:34:24 UHLW 0 7937 lo0 <B.ip> 0:0:c0:8c:8b:93 UHLW 0 2 de0 1183 This allows A to see B/C fine, but messes things up if A needs to route to other machines on the 24/15 subnet which aren't directly connected. What is the correct route command?
