Re: arp: link address is broadcast for IP address??
But there is no machine in 192.168.1.6 My gateway is in 192.168.6.254 other machines in 192.168.0.x 192.168.1.x .3.x .6.x .30.x so I can't use 255.255.255.0 --- Duncan Anker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, 2003-01-08 at 11:40, yen-po wang wrote: > > oh~ sorry... > > netmask is 255.255.0.0 not 192.168.0.0 > > > > I mean netmask in 255.255.0.0 and got the message > > arp: link address is broadcast for IP > > address192.168.1.6! > > Ah, that's different.

Ah, that's different. Well, is there anything else on your network using that address? 192.168.1.6 will be on the same network as your machine. If you set the netmask to 255.255.255.0 it will no longer be the same network and therefore shouldn't continue to happen. Why it does this in the first place, I am not sure. -- The information contained in this email is confidential.

There is no reason not to have a netmask of 192.168.0.0, other than you are going to cause yourself a world of pain.
