I asked for details on rtinit and/or ifa, but they would give me nothing... man -k yields the following: --- ifnet(9), ifaddr(9), ifqueue(9), if_data(9) - kernel interfaces for manipulating network interfaces --- First, I got worried... since I recognized section 9 as the Kernel Developer's section... Then I viewed the man page... and got even more worried... since 3/4's of the page is function descriptions. ;) I get, roughly, that all this relates to the kernel's mechanisms for handling network interfaces... but I would really appreciate more information about what's causing the specific error shown above. Is there some sort of conflict with my arp/network setup? Being realatively unfamiliar with this topic, I'm sure I've left out helpful information, so please email me if you need anything more! --- Mike Hoskins SEI Data Network Services, Inc. mike@seidata.com
