Now, assuming you have a gateway of 12.34.56.78 (which I made up -- that can't possibly be your gateway), you can run route add 0.0.0.0 12.34.56.78 netstat -r probably stuck because it couldn't do any DNS lookups or something. Try netstat -rn instead. --- Tani Hosokawa River Styx Internet On Thu, 4 Mar 1999, Spidey wrote: > aaah! > > I tried route add default 12.34.56.78 > > and netstat -r stuck... > > I can't test it now because i'm not on the good machine... > > And... humm... the NIC you're talking about is 12.34.56.78, in the > example?

I'm just messing with FreeBSD for the first time in like, two years (I had an installation for about a week, before I switched to Linux).
