Warren, Please user reply-all to keep questions at freebsd.org in the loop,
partially for the sake of the mailing list archives, partially in case I

I'm not 100% sure, but try this:
route delete 192.168.2.0/24
route add 192.168.2.0/24 192.168.2.3

Remember also that 192.168.2.3 must be properly set up as a gateway.  If
it's not, you can tweak this machine's config forever and never get anywhere.

If you turn off the automatic line mangling^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hwrapping in Outlook
Express, you'll be much better off.
