I think I mentioned that in my original mail: "Right now I've configured the gateway as a bridge, and that works; but I don't like that. So, how do I set up an ARP proxy correctly?" Hence, I don't desperately need something right now to get the network running, the bridge is operating just fine. I would however like to replace the bridge with an ARP proxy, so I'm interested if FreeBSD is able to work as an ARP proxy at all, and if it is: how. Just enabling 'arpproxy_all' in /etc/rc.conf definitly isn't enough. Thanks, Bernd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
