Subject: Moving ethernet cable between cards, ARP problem ?

Hi everybody,

I'm doing some testing and want to move one ethernet cable between
multiple interfaces in the same box.

As soon as I move the cable I get:

Mar 19 01:32:22 develop /kernel: arp: 192.168.1.1 is on sis0 but
got reply from 00:80:ad:81:fc:d4 on sis1


I have tried to do " arp -d -a" and "route flush" and even tried
to reboot, but somehow freebsd keep remembering where it saw the
IP for the first time and refuse to change it's mind....

I'm running FreeBSD Release 4.1.


It's probably very simple to get FreeBSD to accept the cable move,
but could somebody please tell me how ?


Thanks


Soren Kristensen
