A subnet is expected to be congruent with a physical cable segment. If you want to add a separate box on its own seperate physical cable (the wdn0 attached to the FreeBSD box, in this case), you need to put it on a different subnet. e.g. put them on the separate subnet 205.231.128.[160->191]: SCO: /etc/tcp: ifconfig wdn0 205.231.128.161 -trailers netmask 255.255.255.224 broadcast 205.231.128.191 FreeBSD: /etc/sysconfig: ifconfig_ep0="inet 205.231.128.162 netmask 255.255.255.224" You're asking the SCO system to act as a bridge between two parts of the same logical subnet, on two physical cables. It won't do that; it will only act as a router between different logical subnets. >Bela<
