hello

again a problem:

here i often get the "arp info overwritten for 130.133.255.255 from ..." -
aroud every 1/4 i get this and i think it's because FreeBSD keeps the
broadcast adress in his arp cache -> arp -a looks like:

graichen@julia:~> arp -a

i think the last entry should not be there (BROADCAST.fu-berlin.de) is only an
entry in the nameserver for the broadcast-adress - it's not a machine) - i
think there seems to be something worng with the arp cache - if you need any
more info - please mail me - the system is correctly configured and the
network too - t
