I'm hoping someone out there has discovered the solution for changing the IP address assignment. We are moving to a new ISP. The IP address of the mail server has to change. After updating /etc/rc.conf and /etc/hosts files, a restart, and cable move to new router- The (partial) response to: netstat -rn Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default xxx.xxx.xxx.192 UGSc 0 0 sis0 xxx.xxx.xxx.192 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb 1 0 sis0 => xxx.xxx.xxx..192/27 link#1 UC 2 0 sis0 xxx.xxx.xxx..199 0:0:0:0:0:0 UHLW 4 8 lo0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 What needs to be done to get the kernel to read the MAC address on the NIC? I'm missing something...but what? The ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff is wrong but I'm still new enough at this that I'm not sure how to update/fix this. Google and FreeBSD searches have a couple of articles but no specific resolutions. System log: arp: 00:00:xx:xx:xx:xx attempts to modify permanent entry for xxx.xxx.xxx.192 on sis0 4.5-RELEASE FreeBSD Thanks!
