I duly forgot about this! While doing something else, (just about to post about apache2 & frontpage), my dmesg was filled with this: - arp: link address is broadcast for IP address 10.6.8.22! arp: link address is broadcast for IP address 10.6.8.22! arp: link address is broadcast for IP address 10.6.8.22! arp: link address is broadcast for IP address 10.6.8.22! Then I put the suspect host on to DHCP & on reboot I got this in dmesg: - arp: link address is broadcast for IP address 169.254.14.80! So, it's presumably down to this "dodgy" device...? (still not functioning btw... But its new IP kind of gives that away doesn't it!) It's connected & lights the port up on the switch (even flashing with my pings) I've tried searching google & previous posts on the mailinglist to no avail... Any Ideas Chaps?
