I haven't tried this setup, and I'm too lazy to try it now, but I would start with setting gateway_enable in /etc/rc.conf, adding device bpf to kernel and if that doesn't help, I'd try to add a static arp entry (arp -s remote-IP remote-MAC). Then of course, adding a 192.168.2.x/24 alias to the interface would be a better (straighter) solution, but I'd certainly like to find out how to do it properly your way. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
