You're rebooting when you flip rc.conf? Yes, I'm rebooting (also tried powering down). My guess would be the problem is somewhere here: I don't think there is a real gateway for this network. I think I should be able to access the others directly from mine. How should this affect my setup? Depending on what I try, I also sometimes get /kernal: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 172.18.0.2. What does this mean? I tried playing with -iface and -llinfo options in route but didn't seem to help/I didn't use them the right way. The route man pages say: If the destination is directly reachable via an interface requiring no intermediary system to act as a gateway, the "-interface" modifier should be specified; the gateway given is the address of this host on the common network, indicating the interface to be used for transmission. Is this the correct syntax: route add -net 172.18.0.0 -interface 172.18.0.202 ? Assuming the interface comes up properly, should that mean I should be able to ping my box from another (even if there is a problem with my routing)? >> I can access the 172 with Win95 but not FreeBSD.
