Greetings, I am having trouble with a FreeBSD 4.1 machine that seems to randonmly lose its routing information. The network runs fine for a while and then suddenly stops. The console on the machine reports: /kernel arplookup 147.223.30.2 failed: host is not on local network It is right, that host is the other ride of a router. However if I go to that host and ping back, suddenly everything bursts back into life and works fine until it suddenly stop x minutes later and the process repeats. Any ideas why? Could it be a dodgy NIC or something? Any way to find out without taking the machine out of service? many thanks Gavin ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
