My ADSL modem (D-Link ADSL 300G+) insists on using an IP address of 192.168.1.0, but via DHCP it hands vx0 one of the IP addresses in the /29 that I have from my ADSL provider. In dmesg I often see: arplookup 192.168.0.1 failed: host is not on local network Now obviously 192.168.0.1 isn't on the same network as xl0's 192.168.1.1 since xl0 has a netmask of 0xfffff00. But what is causing this message? Something I read suggested dhcpd, which I have handing out IP addresses on 192.168.1.0/24, but I don't see why. I am aware that this has been discussed before, but I can't see anything misconfigured, and while this is only a minor annoyance I would quite like to get it fixed. ifconfig looks like this: xl0: flags=8943 mtu 1500 options=3 inet6 fe80::201:2ff:fe9b:c86%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:01:02:9b:0c:86 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active vx0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::260:97ff:fe90:4ad7%vx0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 82.68.135.38 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 82.68.135.255 ether 00:60:97:90:4a:d7 xl1: flags=8943 mtu 1500 options=3 inet6 fe80::201:2ff:feb8:3c56%xl1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 ether 00:01:02:b8:3c:56 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier Thanks for any help Chris Howells
