ARP problems are associated most times with a bad NIC card or cable. Check that out. I would try not only a new NIC, but a different brand and model.

When you login to the system you can't telnet to the default router, you get a "Host Down" message and an "arp -a" shows that the MAC address is no longer there, instead it claims to be "incomplete". Manually adding the entry seems to be a work around, but it still makes me nervous.</fontfamily> <fontfamily><param>Book</param>Any ideas?</fontfamily> <fontfamily><param>Book</param> Thanks,</fontfamily> <fontfamily><param>Book</param> --dag</fontfamily> ---------------- </color><fontfamily><param>Book</param><color><param>8080,8080,0000</param>Alex Griffiths Unified Computing</color></fontfamily><color><param>8080,8080,0000</param> <fontfamily><param>Book</param>dag@unifiedcomputing.com</fontfamily> <fontfamily><param>Book</param>ICQ: 7484868</fontfamily> ---------------- Attachment Converted: "C:\Eudora\Attach\Alex Griffiths.vcf" </color></excerpt><color><param>8080,8080,0000</param> </color> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
