hint: you're missing 'inet6'. If you're doing OpenBSD <-> OpenBSD gif(4) tunneling (or know how to bump MTU on the remote end in general) you might find that 1200 is leaving way too much overhead per packet out. Try this in /etc/hostname.gif0 on one end: mtu 1400 !ifconfig \$if inet6 tunnel XX:XX:XX:XX::1 XX:XX:XX::2 inet 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.255 dest 10.0.0.1 And this on the other: mtu 1400 !ifconfig \$if inet6 tunnel XX:XX:XX:XX::2 XX:XX:XX:XX::1 inet 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 dest 10.0.0.2 -- Todd Fries ..
