Prevost) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: [HELP] routing table Date: 14 Dec 1995 01:45:59 GMT Organization: Renaissance Internet Services Lines: 30 Message-ID: <4anvkn$6a@news.ro.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: sh1.ro.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] My routing table on FreeBSD 2.0.1-R looks something like this (but MUCH bigger -- I deleted lots of 'H'ost routes): Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 145.216.92.1 UGSc 6 3 ep0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 0 lo0 145.216.92 link#2 UC 1 0 145.216.92.1 0:0:c:31:c7:12 UHLW 6 0 ep0 897 145.216.92.10 127.0.0.1 UGHS 0 0 lo0 145.216.92.24 8:0:87:4:b1:4a UHLW 1 318 ep0 898 145.216.92.250 link#2 UHLW 5 0 146.96.160 145.216.92.250 UGc 0 0 ep0 146.96.166 145.216.92.4 UGc 0 0 ep0 224 link#2 UCS 0 0 What does link#2 mean? The problem after a while is that MANY of the host routes (which I dont see in Linux or Solaris, BTW) have link#2 as the gateway. When this starts happening I get the "/kernel: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo" message and I can't ping SOME of the hosts in the routing table from the FreeBSD box. HOWEVER, the other boxes (which couldnt be pinged) can ping it! Very strange behaviour to say the least and it's causing me no end of troubles. Hopefully someone has run into this before and can tell me what the problem is. Thanks. --- Mike R. Prevost
