If your provider doesn't have things configured correctly, it is possible for reserved IP numbers to be leaking onto your line. Some providers are notorious for doing that. I don't know how likely that is with DSL. If your FreeBSD gateway system is doing NAT (and is correctly configured), then this explanation doesn't work anyway, because the address(es) you expose to the outside world is (are) not the 192.168 address. Perhaps it could be a sign that your NAT is misconfigured. -- Bob > > Here's a little sketch of my network: > ________ > |FreeBSD|------Nic 1---> DSL --> Internet > | | __________ > _________------Nic 2 --->| HUB | > __________ > ^ ^ > ________ | | > |FreeBSD|------------------ | > |________| | > (problem machine) | > | > _________ | > |Win 95 |------------------- > _________ > > > -- Bob -- ********************************************************* Bob Johnson Senior Systems Programmer bob@eng.ufl.edu College of Engineering 523 Weil Hall 352-392-9217 Office University of Florida 352-392-7063 Fax Gainesville, FL 32611 ********************************************************* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
