So, I thought FreeBSD will dynamically own/reserve that IP and respond to that request. I added the new IP to the box, ifconfig fxp0 inet 209.x.x.253 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias and it still did not seem to work. Maybe I need to restart the machine, since I already played with it a lot since yesterday. I followed Glen's suggestion and made a static route to IPF box from Cisco and it works. Tomorrow, I will put more machines inside and try to assign those IP addresses as alias to the IPF box. Thanks for your help, I was really not clear if I should do it or not, now I know I have to :) Best Wishes, Kaan Jim, I used this one-to-one mapping with Cisco before and it was automatically getting that IP itself.
