After a while both of them lost the ethernet address for this gateway. arp -a showed incomplete for the gateway. When I add a permanent arp entry for the cisco it seems to work (for now). This all occurred after I added an ip alias (from another c-class network) to both machines. I've configured one of the two machines as a gateway between the 2 c-class networks, but they use the same physical link. Jos -- Jos Vissers, System administrator Telebyte
