I tried bridging xl0 > and xl1 and using 217.1.1.155 as gateway, but that didn't work. I can't be sure without knowing the netmask, but it sounds like that's exactly the right idea. There's no way to tell why it went wrong when you gave neither the system configuration details or what actually happened when it "didn't work." You will probably find the FreeBSD Handbook documentation on this topic useful: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-bridging.html -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area http://be-well.ilk.org:8088/~lowell/
