What is your default gateway and subnet mask for your lan? Cheers, Eric Six
-----Original Message----- From: Brian Henning [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 11:37 AM To: freebsd Subject: network issue My local network (192.168.1.0) consists of two machine BSD1 (192.168.1.40) and BSD2 (192.168.1.42). There is a third machine (192.168.1.254, ip address from isp) that acts as a gateway router. When my internet connection goes down for whatever reason I loose connections in my local network. For example, i can't ping 192.168.1.40 from 192.168.1.42. is there any explaination for this? is it because my default route is set to be external?
