How does your router know where to route traffic ? The default route was pointing to x.x.x.26 (when the traffic got there, it knew not where to go). At the next hop, whatever device was there, used its routing table to forward traffic further. > I'm not totally clear on why this made a difference, but it did.

Routing, its a beautiful thing :) > If someone can explain to me why a next-hop static route vs an interface > static route made a difference, I'd appreciate it. .26 did not have a routing table (it was you). Had .26 been another router on the network, it would have worked fine. BTW (what was the next hop , .25 ?)
