since your IIsi is the network router, you're getting that message when
your other mac is accessing your IIsi? your "other mac" is running another
unix? try "route add default ae0" or your other mac.

if you really meant you are pinging from your IIsi to 192.168.0.2, and that
returns that error, it means that your ipnat rules are not set up to
properly send 192.168.0.* packets over ae0. what's that file look like?

if ipnat is running, there should be another line,  like "ae0 1500
192.168.0 iisi and the rest of the stuff. is ipnat actually running?

for some reason, i have trouble using the "netmask" command. replace
"netmask 255.255.255.0" with "broadcast 192.168.0.255". it seems to be able
to figure out the netmask from there. don't put both, i had no luck with
that too :(

heh, it shouldn't be saying that. try changing the broadcast and netmask thing.

have you had any luck accessing the iisi from the other mac? you should
figure that out before trying to ipnat.

good luck,
