A few things to try: 1. Flush the routing table '#route flush' 2. Edit your /etc/rc.conf to establish agreement with the first 2 sets of digits for the ips of the NICs in your machine. Unless you are bridging two networks there is no real reason to scheme completly different ips. Instaed of using 192.168.99.2 and 196.15.176.2, use 192.168.99.2 and 192.168.98.2. The 196.15.. could cause you grief as it is not an approved address for use on an internal network. 3. If you are bridging, make sure the configuration is correct(see the handbook) 4. If you really want this machine to serve nfs you'll want to think about enabling the portmapper dameon for 4.x or the bind utility for 5.x. 5. You may want to clean house on your rc.conf file as it looks like there is some extra stuff in there. Regards, RC > I've searched high and low, but can't find an answer to this problem.
