I just found this thread in the archives... > assigned to the client is on the same subnet as the LAN, but broadcast > data is not sent through the tunnel? Proxy-Arp is enabled. I also > would like to tunnel ipx through. can mpd do this? What I've seen (from "tcpdump -i ng0") is that broadcast packets are sent through the tunnel, but generally nobody receives them. However, there is at least a way to get a local daemon to see the broadcasts, using the loopback device... Supposing your mpd segment is x.y.z.0/24, this should work: ifconfig lo0 add x.y.z.4 netmask 0xffffff00 # a unicast addr ifconfig lo0 add x.y.z.255 netmask 0xffffff00 # the broadcast addr Now a daemon listening on x.y.z.4 should get the broadcasts. I've got the Samba nmbd running this way. - JD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
