Well I have a netstat -nr from when it was using DHCP and when it wasn't and the only difference is the 'Refs' for 127.0.0.1 was 3 for DHCP and 2 for static. The interface works OK for somethings, but for example I can't run 'esd', and whenever I try and ping the address assigned to the ethernet card I get Jun 13 17:35:21 guppy /kernel: arplookup 127.0.0.1 failed: could not allocate llinfo Jun 13 17:35:21 guppy /kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo for 127.0.0.1rt every ping packet sent. --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
