--nextPart3927419.jtR8YKCd8Q Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Hi, I have this problem trying to get a FreeBSD 4.x router to work with my ISP = =2D=20 it pretty much works except for one thing. We have a business DSL connection which is bridged ethernet (dc1), we also= =20 have a class C routed via gif. Recently the ISP changed things slightly and= =20 now all our out bound traffic has to travel over the gif tunnel instead of= =20 dc1 like it used to. The problem is that because gif0 has no address assigned to it any packets= =20 originating from the machine that are not specifically bound to an IP don't= =20 get assigned an IP before they travel over the tunnel (since it has no=20 address). I am wondering what the "right" solution is here - I guess I could assign a= n=20 IP to the tunnel but it seems like a bit of a waste.. Anyone have any suggestions? Please CC me as I'm not on -net. Thanks. =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart3927419.jtR8YKCd8Q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDE7JY5ZPcIHs/zowRAoLwAJ9zybHr9EFJpOE1pT15hMs1wpTZmQCeJNdF O//SyHtJG+0DJ9lSZL8i2kI= =jhk1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3927419.jtR8YKCd8Q--
