So I beleive that no packets are being sent out physically by the bsd machine even though it cliams to be doing it. I have tried ifconfig we0 inet `hostname` netmask 0xfff80000 broadcast 35.8.0.0 -trailers up and as variation , notrailers, brodcast to 255.255. etc. etc. Has any one ever got this type of problem. Any reply (email preffered) will be highly appreciated. Thank you Venkatesh Gopinath Michigan State U
