Have you tried using the interface? We use dhcp for a lab I help run, and 'arp -a' on the clients does not show an entry for the local de0 card they have installed, but they work fine regardless. Do you have a route for 127.0.0.1 in your route table (netstat -rn), there should be one that just points to itself so, AFAIK, it shouldn't be arp'ing for that address. --- John Baldwin <jobaldwi@vt.edu> -- http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/ PGP Key: http://members.freedomnet.com/~jbaldwin/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
