Summary of the problem:
Can't assign cable modem gateway (10.17.56.12) to interface
ed0 with assigned IP (208.59.162.242) - "network unreachable".
I called RCN (my cable provider) and asked them to give me
a gateway on the same subnet; they said they "don't do that".
Part of solution:
I set an alias for ed0 to 10.17.0.1 and it accepted the cable
modem gateway as is. BUT, the packets are sent out with source
address (10.17.0.1) responses to which, I suspect, gateway doesn't
know how to route.
Question: how can I have an alias of 10.17.0.1 and send out all
packets with source address set to 208.59.162.242 (the IP
that is actually assigned to the interface - not alias).
Thanks for any help you can give.
Marko
P.S. Alternately, how can I force the system to allow a gateway
that is on a different subnet (like windows allows that). Who
can I turn to for help ?
