Bauman) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc Subject: kernel message Date: 30 Jul 1996 19:13:08 GMT Organization: InterGlobal Communications Lines: 18 Message-ID: <4tlms4$q0l@moon.igcom.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: terra.igcom.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I have been receiving this message for quite some time now, and basically have been ignoring it because it is not causing any problems, but I figured I might as well get to the root of the message. kernel: arptnew failed on ce67d001 This message resulted after adding new subnets to my local network, not the bsd/os machine itself, but on my router's ethernet interface. My bsd/os machine is on a network with a mask of 255.255.255.192, and I have added subnets (different IP networks) with masks of 255.255.255.0 and 255.255.255.248. Its obvious that the bsd kernel has some sort of problem with it, even though routing works fine. I am not running gated or routed, and do not plan to. My bsd/os routing table looks nothing but perfect, so Im not sure what else the kernel needs. I am assuming it is possibly having problems with arp requests. Does anyone have a better insight? DB
