In message <m0vUsCI-0000aQC@nanguo.chalmers.com.au> you write: >So, when I start up the baby freebsd, it returns the error message at the >network startup, IP Address already in use by 00:xx.xx.xx.xx (ether card >number). The number returned is that of the router !!!! It's telling >me that the router is using the baby-pc's ip address, when of course it >isn't. It's using its own, and an entirely different C class at that. Sounds like the router thinks that the class C in question is on the other side of it, and is doing proxy ARP. Try configuring the router with a route to the network you're playing with, or turning off proxy ARP. Bill
