I have gotten far enough to have this. I ran ngctl and then ran "mkpeer . eiface hook ether" I then ran ifconfig ngeth0 link '00:bd:03:11:21:11' ifconfig ngeth0 192.168.20.5 ifconfig sis0 192.168.23.45 So basically I want to be able to ping / connect to 192.168.20.5 from another box on the 192.168.23.0/24 network, and have it see the mac address that I have set rather than the mac address of my sis0 device. I know I can do this with vmware, but I am trying to avoid that. Anyone know if this is possible? Is there a way to do this with the tap device and or arpd? Regards, David Yeske
