ifconfig_xl0="inet 209.74.92.209 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_ep0="inet 209.74.87.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" the netmasks are for the same subnet ... that is the thing that results in the kernel giving out these messages. If it's two different networks/subnets that're in picture then you could try using different masks. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Lars Eggert Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2001 6:26 PM To: Mike Saunders; freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE: kernel arp messages > I'm running a 3.4-RELEASE i386 machine with two network cards.

These ARP messages usually occur when people think they must hook two NICs up to the same LAN. But your description sounds like they go out onto two separate networks? Or do I misunderstand? Could you draw a picture maybe?
