Hi Lars,

I do flush the arp cache on the other end, a windows 98se box
(192.168.1.4). And after pinging the FreeBSD box from the Windows
box, the Windows box arp cache is updated to the correct
interface.

Also, I get the errors during the pings, so the FreeBSD box
receives *something* on the sis1 interface....

For info, I start with the cable on the sis0 (192.168.1.20)
interface, then move it to the sis1 (192.168.1.21) interface (And
when I get it to work, to the sis2 interface....)


Regards,


Soren
