I have an aliased ip on my machine.
when I ping to the real one www.hsc.wvu.edu it works
when I ping to hscnet.hsc.wvu.edu it fails.
The outside world connects fine.  It can only not talk to itself.
netstat -rn shows hscnet's gateway to be 127.0.0.1.
i am getting the error arpresolve on my error terminal.
i have tried arp -s hscnet.hsc.wvu.edu (ethernet addr) pub
but no help.
any ideas?  I imagne this is something very very simple, but
I have evidently missed something in the man pages and my Nemeth.
thanks for your help
