I have a FreeBSD 2.0.5 box running which periodically connects to the internet via PPP. The machine is also connect to a LAN and consequently has an ethernet card with an IP address assigned to it. I want to be absolutely sure that I am not broadcasting RIP information about the IP addresses assigned to the NIC in my machine. It is not a register addressed and I know it could "bung" things up if it were broadcasted. Can someone help me? Thanks, Mike Williams mlwillia@ix.netcom.com
