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....)
