Let me try again, here is my situation and question with a little more detail.Advertising
My local network (192.168.1.0) consists of two machine BSD1 (192.168.1.40) and BSD2 (192.168.1.42). Both of these machines use the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.254. There is a third machine GATEWAY (192.168.1.254, ip address from isp) has two nics and acts as the router. All of these machine are connected to a switch locally. 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?
Not that I can think of. There's no reason I can imagine that your local connectivity should suffer from Internet problems. Especially if you're connecting via IP address (which rules out DNS problems). Could you provide 'netstat -rn' and 'ifconfig' output from GATEWAY, please. I don't see anything in the other information you provided that would indicate any sort of misconfig on BSD2. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
