Jared Agnew) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Two devices with same IP Date: 16 Nov 1996 21:38:12 -0500 Organization: Virginia Tech Computer Science Dept, Blacksburg, VA Lines: 9 Message-ID: <56ltqk$nhv@csugrad.cs.vt.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: csugrad.cs.vt.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I have a friend that uses Redhat-4.0. He was giving me flac about the fact that FreeBSD will not allow the same IP on more than one device. I talked to a few friends and they told me that this was because haveing two devices with the same IP is against TCP/IP standards or something. If anyone knows where I could read more about this could you please post. Maybe a FAQ or RFC??? Thanks --- Jared --jared@vt.edu
