Um...perhaps I'm being stupid, but why don't you just switch the IP addresses of the NICs? If I understand what you were saying, in 3.2, your config looked like: fxp0, 1.2.3.4 --> some hub fxp1, 10.11.12.13 --> a different hub and now, it looks like fxp0, 10.11.12.13 --> the 1.2.3.* hub fxp1, 1.2.3.4 --> the 10.11.12.* hub Why don't you just do # ifconfig fxp0 inet 1.2.3.4 netmask <whatever> # ifconfig fxp1 inet 10.11.12.13 netmask <whatever> which will give you your original configuration again, and then fold those changes into /etc/rc.conf so the configuration is preserved if the system reboots? Or is there something I'm missing? Eric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
