It turned out that I had a loopback entry in the routing table for the offending IP address. It's something to try, at least. Do netstat -r and make sure the routes are sane. Regards, Nathan Grant -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of John Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 8:23 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: kernel: arplookup error Hi all, This question appears to have been asked before on several occasions, but I haven't been able to find a fix using the information provided. I keep getting the following in my log files: /kernel: arplookup a.b.118.64 failed: host is not on local network My system is sitting on a.b.119.69. My system and .64 sit behind different gateways, hooked up to different switches, but both sit on the same academic campus. After checking the seemingly obvious places (/etc, /usr/local/etc, etc), I took a stab out of desperation and grep'd the entire system trying to find *any* reference to the 'offending' address. Unfortunately, I have zero access to the .64 box, so anything I try has to be without accessing that box. I was hoping someone might be able to offer some suggestions on what to look for or something to try. Not sure what other info might be helpful here. If there's anything else I can provide, please let me know.
