Wierd!!! This sounds a lot like multiple dhcp interfaces. That just doesn't seem to work very well. Which default route gets used, etc? When a dhclient renews it's lease it can change your routing again after you think it works. With 2 dhcp interfaces I've had things *start* working after a while, and I've had things *stop* working after a while. The answer, of course, is to use a discovery protocol, but not all devices serving dhcp support that. :( -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group dwchandler@stilyagin.com | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
