He's wondering why ARP doesn't just work. >The only command I typed was arp -s 10.0.0.1 00:0b:23:2a:b0:c4 , which >creates the arp address I should want.

All you really need to do is: # ifconfig ed0 alias 10.0.0.2/24 # telnet 10.0.0.1 No silly route commands, no forcing of ARP. Just add the IP address to the interface and do your connect. My guess is that the same is true in Linux, but I don't know the exact syntax there. -- Steve Watt KD6GGD PP-ASEL-IA ICBM: 121W 56' 57.8" / 37N 20' 14.9" Internet: steve @ Watt.COM Whois: SW32 Free time?
