#arp -an? (10.11.12.254) at ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff on vr0 permanent [ethernet]


thats all. I have cleaned out the arp cache once already, but this came
right back. I was curious if there was a way to correct this entry, or
something...

No, it's not. The output of arp -an might be helpful to this,
but I suspect you've got an underlying network issue.

Also (for the second time) keep the mailing list in the loop.
In particular, I'll be leaving shortly and won't have access to
email for several days.

Certainly. Here it is:
#ifconfig -a

That's really strange. Your broadcast address should be
10.11.12.255. It's quite likely that this is part of your
problem, but I can't imagine how you could have arrived at
this configuration. What is in /etc/rc.conf?

That's netstat -rn, not -m. Unfortunately, the -m doesn't tell me
what I'm looking for, which is your routing table.

I'm wondering if your ipnat rules are awry. Please provide the
ifconfig, routing table, and nat rules from the router machine.

...again, this is straight out of a fresh install (which I did
because I
had
the exact same problem with the last install).

Well, obviously, you did it the same both times, and are getting the
same result.

Sorry if this is sorta n00bish, but I have a problem that Google
hasn't
answered for me yet...
I have a moderately-sized network that I am trying to run, with
about 70
or
so machines on it. The DHCP server (running FreeBSD 6.2, IPv4
address:
10.11.12.254, Subnet is 10.11.12.0/24 ) acts as a gateway server
as
well,
and
has ipnat running for traffic routing.

So far, I have had no problems with ANY of the machines on this
network
connecting, save one--my File server (running FreeBSD 6.2 as
well,
IPv4
address: 10.11.12.253). For some reason, whenever I try to
establish
any
connection to ANY network address (on any protocol), it will
only
connect to
one address: 10.11.12.252 (and won't connect to anything when
that
machine
is off).
Here is a ping listing:
#ping 10.11.12.254
PING 10.11.12.254 (10.11.12.254): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 10.11.12.252: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.852 ms


...and it continues precisely in that manner until I stop it.

I have tried re-installing the OS on the file server, but with
no
change
in
results. I have removed the machine at 10.11.12.252 with the
only
change
being that the file-server can obtain NO connection to ANY IP
address.

Any help would be appreciated.

Why don't your cut/paste the output of ifconfig -a and netstat -rn

I suspect your network settings are incorrect.
