One possibility is that your netmask is incorrect.  What does ifconfig
say for whichever interface is configured on that network?

arplookup host not on local network

hi all

i rebooted my dual boot (with winxp), dhcp, 4.8-REL_ENG machine today,
and noticed for the first time some strange behavior.

i can boot successfully, but i notice recurring messages in
/var/log/messages, which read

Jul  5 21:04:23 hostname-15m1kxku /kernel: arplookup xx.xx.xx.xx failed:
host is
not on local network

note: xx.xx.xx.xx looks like an ip on the same subnet as my box, ie.,
the first two octets are similar.

i can boot into freebsd, looks like i'm still receiving a network
connection, however - certain things now don't work - namely, kde takes
forever to start up (hangs during 'initializing network services'), kde
terminates unexpectedly, and i can no longer start konqueror from within
kde.  this was a stab in the dark, but i tried deleting the contents of
/tmp, and rebooting. it didn't help.

if anyone has experienced this type of behavior before, i'd appreciate
hearing from you...

thanks
redmond
