The traceroute basically times out trying to reach the last hop. My guess is that it is due to the fact that the virtual host machine is on subnet 0xfffffff0. Ifconfig doesn't like it when I try to configure the netmask with the 0xfffffff0 mask so I'm assuming you have to use 0xffffffff. Is the inability to finish a traceroute normal behaviour for FreeBSD virtual hosts? Thanks, Craig =================================================================== Orbit Systems Phone: 508-753-8776 400 Grove St. Email: craigs@os.com Worcester, MA 01605 http://www.os.com/
