Hi, I have a FBSD 4.8 box running Samba in my network. Lately I am noticing some strange messages at the console concerning my firewall. The messages basically say the MAC address of my linux firewall's internal ip address has changed...and 15 minutes later changed again (to the original MAC address)...and so on. The linux firewall is a bastion host with three NICs...are my NICs bad or what? This is coinciding with some not-understood behavior of the firewall. The firewall is Ipcop which worked just fine for us for the past year and a half. Then we upgraded our ISDN connection to business-class cable (2 Mbps down and 512 Up) and I'm losing sleep and hair and we still are "enjoying" spotty connectivity at the windows clients, but not at the public interface of the firewall itself...I cannot figure out what is going on, and I've posted an ipcop-centric message on their mailing list. But, can anyone figure out what the arp messages are telling me? Thanks, Roy __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
