    Does anyone know what this command, route delete default, did? After using
    it the box reboots but will not go online so I can log in remotely as this
    is not an on premise box. I need to tell the tech's what I need done in
    order to repair it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    HERE IS THE ORIGINAL POSTING

       OK, this is difficult to explain and my problem is probably bigger than
    what I have found but here goes. I have a dedicated 5.1 FreeBSD box and
    when I did a dmesg I received a repeating message as follows:
    arplookup 66.246.xx.1 failed: host is not on local network
      This peaked my curiosity so I pinged the bank of IP's I have in the range
    of that IP and I was able to ping them with a response.
      Something quick I can do to test to see if the IP will bind is compile an
    IRC bouncer. I found the bouncer would not bind to the IP 66.246.xx.185 as
    a normal account user and the bouncer would not function. If I SU to root
    and start the bouncer the IP would bind and the bouncer would function
    correctly. It should be noted that the bouncer was compiled as the normal
    account user.
      I have two different sets of IP's on my box and I have added them in the
    rc.conf in the following way:
    ifconfig_sis0_alias10="inet 209.123.xx.200 netmask 255.255.255.255"
    ifconfig_sis0_alias11="inet 66.246.xx.185 netmask 255.255.255.255"
      Do I have the IP's added wrong in rc.conf? What am I doing wrong? Why do
    I receive the dmesg which appears to be an error? Any assistance would be
    appreciated.
