Date: Tue, 06 Feb 1996 02:41:07 GMT Organization: NetWay By MDC, Inc. Lines: 23 Message-ID: <4f69if$fs0@namesrv.mdc.net> Reply-To: systemdls@mdc.net NNTP-Posting-Host: scanpc.mdc.net X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 Hello all, I am running BSDI 2.0.1 and have loaded all PPP patchs which I have access to from ftp.bsdi.com. Our system seems to be adding invalid ARP's. When you do an arp -a you usually get the following. ppp0020.mdc.net (206.66.240.20) at 0:80:29:e7:aa:5d permanent published (proxy only) However lately we have been getting ARP's which do not have the (proxy only). The users who are connecting with these arps can not do anything. Everything they try to do gives them an error stating that there is no DNS entry for the address they are trying to connect to. Has anyone else seen this problem and if so what can be done to solve it. I am getting alot of calls about this problem. Any help would be good Thanks, Douglas L Smith mailto:systemdls@mdc.net http://www.mdc.net
