I believe I just figured it out. I read this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_subnetting_reference
Since I'm in control of a public IP, I'm supposed to set the netmask for the ext_if on my openbsd router to 255.255.0.0 not 255.255.255.0. Would that solve the mysterious ping problem? I really didn't know what netmask were until now. Thanks, Vivek On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 3:43 PM, Vivek Ayer <[email protected]> wrote: > what should it be? 255.255.255.0? or something else?
