I have experienced a similar issue with my cable modem service. Look at this from /var/log/messages: Jan 23 14:20:56 jamestown /kernel: arp: 00:20:78:d0:28:12 is using my IP address 0.0.0.0! Jan 23 14:20:56 jamestown /kernel: arp: 00:20:78:d0:28:12 is using my IP address 0.0.0.0! <snip> Jan 24 21:39:25 jamestown /kernel: arp: 00:50:8b:aa:68:a9 is using my IP address 24.148.62.76! What you need to know first is: Do you have a static IP address or is the ISP using DHCP? Set your configuration accordingly. See Section 17.8 DHCP of the FreeBSD Handbook <http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/dhcp.html>; for help on DHCP. It's really simple. Are you getting messages like I am above? This could be a sign of a misconfigured NIC. Jim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
