I *was* just having problems with arp too. It seems to have gone away though. See below. The problems started after i disconnected my router from the cable modem, and connected a different computer to it (for awhile). I make sure to reboot the cable modem everytime i change ethernet's because it will only learn 1. When i hooked my router back up dhclient would hang. I ifconfiged and added the route's which has worked everytime before except for now. I checked out tcpdump and saw my isp's router sending arp requests, and getting replys back from my router. It kept going like it wasn't getting the reply's. Arp -a would hang. And ping gave me request timeout's. I tried doing ifconfig with the -arp parameter and the arp problem seems to have disappeared for now hm. Also when i try dhclient I see it sending out requests which never seem to get replys. If i let dhclient sit there long enough dhclient will sometimes get a reply but somethings screwing up, and ifconfig -a's output doesn't show any ip. I'm using 4.3-STABLE Anyone know what could be causing this problem? 09:38:15.776913 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0x4787021 secs:34 [|bootp] [tos 0x10] 09:38:28.467185 192.168.100.1 > 224.0.0.1: 192.168.100.1 > 224.0.0.1: igmp v1 queryigmp query [tos 0xc0] [ttl 1] 09:38:30.787112 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: xid:0x4787021 secs:49 [|bootp] [tos 0x10] my isp tells me i don't need the host-name and dhclient has worked fine for a long time until just now. this should be correct. interface "dc0" { send host-name ""; request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, routers, domain-name-servers, domain-name, time-servers; require domain-name-servers; } __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
