[snip] I think by far the easiest thing to do for this is to just set up the FreeBSD machine to be an Ethernet bridge. Forget routing all together. A co-worker wanted to have one machine running FreeBSD and one Windoze at work. There is one RJ-45 plug in the wall and rather than waste a hub on him, I just slapped a second NIC in the FreeBSD box (actually the old 10-BaseT one left over from the upgrade to 100-BaseT), put a crossover between it and the Windoze machine, then recompiled the kernel with bridging. Viola! As far as the Windoze machine and the rest of the LAN knows, its connected all on the same wire. Sounds just like your problem. HTH. -- Crist J.
