If you're still a bit stuck, do a "route print" and show us/me - via Hangouts if you want it less public.<br /><br /> If your machine is configured to use a DNS server on one of the local LANs, you'll need to make sure it's reachable.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41840.3&return_msg=41840.3" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41840.3"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41840_4"></a><div class="message" id="message_41840_4"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Monsoir (PILOTDAN)<span class="message_time">25 Nov 2016 10:45</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Serg (NUKKLEAR) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 26 Nov 2016 09:06"></span></span> <span class="message_count">4 of 4</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41840.4">41840.4</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41840.3#a41840_3" target="_self">41840.3</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I'd say get rid of the DFGW completely on the second NIC.
