To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello all! I'm a FreeBSD newbie, so please bare with me if this question is very simple. I have a simple home LAN setup of 2 computers: one is Windoze 98 and the other I recently installed with FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE. Furthermore, I am running natd on the BSD box with two NICs. Both NICs are plugged into my hub and so is my 98 box. Also, my cable modem is connected to the hub as well (in the uplink port). So that's 4 connections going into the hub total (2 from BSD, 1 from 98, & 1 from my cable modem). My 98 box has the ip of 192.168.0.6. My BSD box has 2 ips, one from the cable provider (on ed1, 24.xx.xx.xx) and the other is 192.168.0.1 (on ed2). Now everything works fine. natd works great, so does named, and the firewall as well. However, I get this annoying message on my BSD box: /kernel: arp: 192.168.06 is on ed2 but got reply from 00:c0:a8:50:9e:a7 on ed1. What does this exactly mean? and how do I correct it? My guess is that if I simply plug my cable modem directly into ed1 I wouldn't get this result. However, I feel though I shoudn't be getting this in the first place. Can anyone help? BTW, this is what an arp -a reveals: sunnie$ arp -a ? (24.xx.xx.xx) at 0:0:xx:xx:xx:xx [ethernet] ? (192.168.0.6) at 0:c0:a8:50:9e:a7 [ethernet] Many thanx in advance. ===== PGP public key: http://i.am/dennisjun/ or ldap://certserver.pgp.com/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
