If the packet is not yet part of an established connection (i.e. if it is an outgoing connection that is being opened), when the gateway is chosen, so will the outgoing address, and this will cause you to experience what you have experienced. Administrators should *always* avoid using multiple default gateways unless they really know what they are doing (and even in that case I would recommend against it). > The solution worked and I am thankful for that. Great to know I could help! Filipe
