It is cosco router 2. netmasks are OK, but we use unclassified ip, that is mask is varying 3. Netmasks of the two nodes: the FreeBSD and the micro are correct, they are 255.255.0.0 4. There is some nodes with some other masks between 255.255.0.0 - 255.255.255.0 I think proxy arping is in use. Seppo
