The ppp server has the ethernet on a /24 net and the ppp address assigned to my machine is also within the same /24 net. ppp works fine, (provided i turn arp proxy on for the ppp address), but mrouted ignores interfaces with potentially conflicting addresses as in my case. I can make things work by making the tests in mrouted less restrictive but Bill Fenner claims that there are reasons for that restriction and i trust his word. cheers luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
