(Probably just another symptom of what you show below). It's a bug in routed that it logs this fact at such a high level; the TCP trouble has nothing to do with routed. >ping: sendto: No buffer space available Looks like your machine ran out of mbuf's. If you can recreate this, try "netstat -m" and see if any category has a much higher number than the others. Bill
