I'm hoping somebody can help me with this problem. I'm about at my wit's end. The problem is that i'm receiving the following messages constantly, at the console, in the syslog, and to root's terminal. Sep 18 15:01:54 router /kernel: arp: 209.74.92.1 is on xl0 but got reply from 00 :00:a2:66:83:41 on ep0 Sep 18 15:01:54 router last message repeated 4 times Sep 18 15:01:54 router /kernel: arp: 209.74.87.1 is on lo0 but got reply from 00 :60:08:35:57:4e on xl0 Sep 18 15:01:55 router last message repeated 2 times Sep 18 15:01:55 router /kernel: arp: 209.74.87.193 is on ep0 but got reply from 00:50:da:c7:e7:68 on xl0 Sep 18 15:01:55 router /kernel: arp: 209.74.87.1 is on lo0 but got reply from 00 :60:08:35:57:4e on xl0 I'm running a 3.4-RELEASE i386 machine with two network cards. The machine acts as a router between my LAN and my provider's network. ep0 is the NIC connected to my LAN and xl0 is my provider's network. Here's my network configuration: bash# ifconfig ep0 ep0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 209.74.87.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.74.87.255 ether 00:60:08:35:57:4e bash# ifconfig xl0 xl0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 209.74.92.209 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 209.74.92.255 ether 00:50:da:c7:e3:1a media: 10baseT/UTP my /etc/rc.conf looks like this: ifconfig_xl0="inet 209.74.92.209 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_ep0="inet 209.74.87.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" hostname="router.cland-minot.com" gateway_enable="YES" defaultrouter="209.74.92.1" I tried to enable arpproxy_all="YES" in /etc/rc.conf, but that's not helping, I still got spammed by all the arp messages. With the new IIS exploit causing such increased traffic flow, the arp messages are making console useless by filling the screen as well as lagging the system horribly by churning the disk so much (It's only a pentium 60). I can't even log into the machine via ssh. The only way to get a shell on it is to pull the network lines and use the console. So, in short, besides redirecting console and syslog to /dev/null, what can I do to make these arp messages go away?
