Yes, and if I don't do this my machine will report (out on eth1) what MAC address match a2 on the eth2 net! This is truly bad in my case. So MAC addresses from NIC:s conected to the eth2 net can be reported out on eth1. I want to stop this. Proxy ARP shuld solve the ARP problem, but it seams to be more pakages going the same way. I do beleve it is brodkasting stuff and responses to that, but I realy don't know :-( Guess it hard to stop things You don't know exactly what it is. A firewall with default deny and then alowing everthing used might work? Thanks /Lars -- Lars Hallberg Micro++ www.micropp.se/ Freeware * C/C++ * Python * Linux * Debian * HTML * Javascript
