Hi,

I'm not terribly network aware so please pardon me if this is something
basic:

Over the past month I've seen messages like the following coming up
occasionally (once in a few days) on the console:

    Aug 28 17:38:39 krill routed[46]: punt RTM_LOSING without gateway
    Aug 28 17:39:11 krill last message repeated 2 times

This is followed at times by my rlogins/X connections freezing and timing 
out.  This causes much grief :-(.

Looks like something's hosing the network; however `ping' et al continue
to work, and so do fresh rlogins.

The only other anomalous message I see is :

  Aug 28 17:53:22 krill /kernel: arplookup 15.70.184.55 failed: host is not \
  on local network
  Aug 28 17:53:38 krill routed[4856]: packet from unknown router 15.70.184.55\
  or via unidentified interface

This appears quite frequently but doesn't seem harmful.

I'm running:

    FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #0: Thu Aug 22 16:23:28 IST 1996
	root@krill.india.hp.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/KRILL

Thanks,
Koshy
