i read the man page, it indicated the use of the -inteface flag but i could not get it to work. doing what you say did not fix the problem either: as you described: root@fw-1[~]% route delete default route: writing to routing socket: No such process delete net default: not in table so i manually deleted it: root@fw-1[~]% route delete 128.111.147.254 delete host 128.111.147.254 netstat -rn then indicated it was deleted. then i ran: root@fw-1[~]% route add default 128.111.147.254 add net default: gateway 128.111.147.254 and netstat -rn again shows: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire 128.111.147.254 00:e0:52:d8:43:00 UHLW 1 0 rl0 1173 my problem is not adding a default gateway, but rather assigning the default gateway to the outside interface fxp0, not my internal interface rl0. any more ideas? -randall -- :// randall s. ehren :// voice 805.893.5632 :// systems administrator :// isber|survey|avss.ucsb.edu :// institute for social, behavioral, and economic research To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
