In the future please volunteer as much information as possible revzalot, otherwise you're forcing us to guess how you've configured your systems after installation.

Nobody here has to take the time and effort to search your previous posts to get an outlook of your network topology, it's simply unreasonable to assume we will.

In the future, think of this forum as a proverbial dump(8) site.. nobody will complain if you give them too much information, although be sure not to leak any sensitive information if you're employed by someone.

Here partial list of information that should be included when reporting routing/networking issues:
  • Try to describe your problem in as much details as possible, using your own words.. remembering we do not have physic powers.
  • Perhaps attempt to create a diagram if that will help communicate the problem, this means a labelled network topology.
  • Full output of ifconfig(8) and route(8), this is simply a must.. very minimal effort.
  • OpenBSD uses plain-text configuration files, we know nothing of their contents on your system.. post the output of at least your interface files, perhaps mygate if relevant and anything else that you deem significant.
  • Describe any changes you may have made to your systems recently that may be effecting things, either hardware or software.
  • Do you have any non-OpenBSD systems that you've failed to mention? are they configured properly? have you eliminated that as a candidate?

You scared off jggimi, an long time member of this forum.. perhaps this will open your eyes to your communication deficiencies..

It is simply unfair to paint half of a picture and leave the rest of it up to our imaginations.

Good luck.
