They assigned us a couple class Cs for our network. I've left the majority of machines on IPs of our first connection (207.218.152.0/24), however I've added some new machines to the network which use the IPs of the second connection (206.170.14.0/24). All of these machines are on the same ethernet connection. The problem: Several (but not all) of my FreeBSD systems report: arplookup 206.170.14.50 failed: host is not on local network arplookup 206.170.14.50 failed: host is not on local network arplookup 206.170.14.50 failed: host is not on local network My FreeBSD boxes and the 206.170.14.51 (linux) box are both on the same ethernet network. They can both communicate with each on via tcp (but not via icmp, due to icmp filtering by ipfw on my freebsd boxes). So, this isn't actually causing a problem -- but I hate seeing symptoms of possible problems around and like to fix them. If it can't be fixed, it'd be nice to at least make it stop reporting that. So, any ideas or fixes? Thanks, --- Jesse http://www.lumiere.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
