Hi, Ok my network has about 80 nodes. I've just showed you a couple of lines of the arp output. Now there is only 1 Nic card on the server. There is one gateway ( 192.168.1.1 ) from where I ran the arp command. I even checked out if this was happening when some m/c is booted or shut dowm. Nope that was not the case either. I'll interchange eth0 and eth0:0 and try it, but still wanna know what could be the problem thanks for the mail - -kalyan -------------------------------------------------------------------------- LI is all for free speech, but this list was created for a purpose -- to help popularise Linux in India.
