routing problem

[Alaor Barroso de Carvalho Neto]

The nameserver is the 192.168.1.2 in the resolv.conf, sorry my fault. I'm
gonna copy the rc.conf and paste here. But the routes are OK and still OK
for any time when the machine is not the main gateway and have some few
clients using it as gateway, if it was a config problem it wouldn't work
never, no? Is there any chance of the traffic of the network be the
responsible for that???
Thankz the help
