Thanks Rob,

I'm actually brdiging two networks, the "live" address is to my router and
the "private" one for my network.

Is there a command to stop the service on a specific card, or does one just
comment out the appropriate entry en rc.conf?

Roland

A few things to try:

1. Flush the routing table '#route flush'

2. Edit your /etc/rc.conf to establish agreement with the first 2
   sets of digits for the ips of the NICs in your machine. Unless
   you are bridging two networks there is no real reason to scheme
   completly different ips. Instaed of using 192.168.99.2
   and 196.15.176.2, use 192.168.99.2 and 192.168.98.2. The 196.15..
   could cause you grief as it is not an approved address for use on
   an internal network.

3. If you are bridging, make sure the configuration is correct(see the
   handbook)

4. If you really want this machine to serve nfs you'll want to think
   about enabling the portmapper dameon for 4.x or the bind utility
   for 5.x.

5. You may want to clean house on your rc.conf file as it looks like
   there is some extra stuff in there.

Regards,
RC
