Hi, I tried searching the mailing lists but came up empty or it's quite possible my queries weren't detailed enough. I'm confused about the usage of arp. I find that I cannot enter an entry for a machine outside my subdomain with arp because I get errors like: cannot intuit interface index and type for xx.yy.zz.ww or set: can only proxy for xx.yy.zz.ww If I enter an entry for a machine on the same local subdomain, arp doesn't complain and does create an entry. What I'm trying to do is to get wake on lan working reliably. I find that if the ethernet address information is in the arp cache, wake on lan works fine, but if it has expired, I cannot get wake on lan to work. So, what can I do to fix my problem? My two machines are also using different netmasks, too. Perhaps this puts a wrinkle on things?
