I use the netmask 255.255.255.240 on my Class C, in order to have subnets of 14 hosts each. Since I want to devote one subnet to the PPP clients, and applying the rule (from the doc.) that PPP server and clients must be on the same subnet, I started to define an IP alias for my FreeBSD's ed0 [193.72.189.2], following the doc's suggestions. That is: ifconfig ed0 inet 193.72.189.17 netmask 255.255.255.240 alias route add -host 183.72.189.17 127.0.0.1 0 Everything seems to be working fine for a while, but then the FreeBSD "looses" the route to the Cisco, since it expires. Question: What am I doing wrong? Any help would be *very* much appreciated! Cleto Pescia <cleto@e-link.ch>
