To me, that says that your machine is hearing ARP calls on its wire for machines on 63.169.98.64. routed(8) would have nothing to do with that. > On Mon, 3 Jul 2000 keith@mail.telestream.com wrote: > > > I have a machine setup and on the net.

However, doing some traceroute(8)s to your net (I hope you don't mind) shows that your configuration seems pretty simple and should be working. Still, you might want to look at 'netstat -rn' output with and without routed to see what it might be doing in there. -- Crist J.
