Hello Eivind, obviously you have updated your conf file to get em0 instead of xl0 ? does each other ping the other ? does the master stay in init or become master thinking he is alone ? the slave is now master since you changed your card ? @+ Sunday, April 17, 2005, 4:01:42 PM, you wrote: EH> Hi, EH> I recently configured two FreeBSD 5.3 (with XL 3c905C NIC) boxes to act as EH> one logic router (preemption) between multiple VLANs.
