Then I put the suspect host on to DHCP on reboot I got this in dmesg: - arp: link address is broadcast for IP address 169.254.14.80! Sounds like the IP address on your unix box is an IP that falls on a subnet boundry.

Dmesg filled with arp: link address is broadcast for IP address
Hello, I've had an annoying connectivity failure with a Windows 98 SE client just now left a ping running to see if any wire wiggling I did was helping... I duly forgot about this! While doing something else, (just about to post about apache2 frontpage), my dmesg was filled with this: - arp: link address is broadcast for IP address 10.6.8.22! arp: link address is broadcast for IP address 10.6.8.22! arp: link address is broadcast for IP address 10.6.8.22! arp: link address is broadcast for IP address 10.6.8.22! Then I put the suspect host on to DHCP on reboot I got this in dmesg: - arp: link address is broadcast for IP address 169.254.14.80! So, it's presumably down to this dodgy device...? (still not functioning btw... But its new IP kind of gives that away doesn't it!) It's connected lights the port up on the switch (even flashing with my pings) I've tried searching google previous posts on the mailinglist to no avail... Any Ideas Chaps?

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.
