This indicates, that, for whatever reason, arp was not able to find a route to reply to an incoming arp request. This is usually caused by a misconfigured netmask on either the router or the client. The arps get broadcast okay, but the netmask prevents a reply on the same interface. Hope this helps - I'm very pressed for time right now. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
