Hi Folks,

I have this strange feeling I may be misconfigured on the ethernet side 
of things.  Read on and see what you think.  I am running 2.1R

I have an ethernet card set to:  203.9.159.1
from this machine I run a slip port:  203.9.159.1 -> 139.130.3.73

203.9.159.1 acts as the router for incoming slip/ppp connections

If a slip/ppp user is not logged in and a packet of data is received for
them I get this when I do a netstat -r  (just for interests sake I'll add 
the top part of my netstat -r command)

Internet:
Destination      Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif Expire
default          Async1.smi1.darwin UGSc       58   124669       sl0
localhost        localhost          UH          0      323       lo0

lorikeet         link#1             UHLW        0       10 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this appears...



I find if I delete the 203.9.159.1 on the ed0 interface
the link#1 problem goes away. Of course I can't then communicate with the 
rest of my ethernet network.

The phantom link#1 seems to go away after a minute or two.

Can anyone shed some light on what I am doing wrong?

Robert
