Actually I meant were you running appletalk on the FreeBSD machine :) but it appears not. I have seen this message, but don't how it get's to happen It's not fatal so I'd ignore it.. the system is printing it so that we get questions like this which reminds people like me to go look at that code every now and then :) On Fri, 28 Nov 1997, Mike wrote: > On Fri, 28 Nov 1997, Julian Elischer wrote: > > > do you have appletalk? > > We do have one Mac system setup on our LAN.

Thanks for any insight... it's not impossible that ARP might have something to do with it, but I wouldn't say that it is definite. The whole routing code needs a cleanup. (Actually my boss has told me that it is on his list of things he thinks I should do so that may actually happen :) > --- > Mike Hoskins > SEI Data Network Services, Inc. > mike@seidata.com > >
