Woops. Sorry, I meant to say that 34 is the local address of the slip interface. 203.x.y.48/28 203.x.y.49 UGc sl1 203.x.y.49 203.x.y.34 UH sl1 203.s.t 203.x.y.49 UGc sl1 The problem is not occurring right at the moment, so I can't see if it varies the routing table. I'll put a watcher program on /var/log/messages to do a netstat -rn when it sees the arpresolve messages. Ethernet IP address is 203.29.224.17. Most ppp and slip interfaces use 203.2.144.1 as the local IP address, including other CSLIP interfaces which have been breaking. I have some 'numbered interface' links and some 'unnumbered interface links'. A few logic data points for you: Type Problem observed CSLIP links yes cslip -> remote net yes cslip -> w/o remote net no cslip -> rem net, numbered yes cslip -> rem net, unnumbered yes ppp links no ppp -> remote net no ppp -> w/o remote net no ppp -> remote net, numbered no ppp -> rem net, unnumbered no Note that if I did not have an example of any of the above, I would have put n/a.
