The arp cache doesn't stay very long. Maybe a minute at most. IIRC DNS cache maybe, that lasts longer. Is your router doing DNS as well as DHCP? I ask because this is not default. You have to set both up separately or create a hosts file on each box. -----Original Message----- From: kclug-bounces@kclug.org [mailto:kclug-bounces@kclug.org] On Behalf Of hanasaki Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2005 1:16 PM To: jason@stdbev.com Cc: Jeremy Fowler; kclug@kclug.org Subject: Re: routing problem working like a champ now! is it possible that there was something in the ip stack that had to timeout? I did manually arp -d the host3 entries and after a "ping" arp -a showed them with a MAC of "<incomplete>" whatever that means. Jason Munro wrote:

Default gateway for host1 is set to 10.1.1.2, change to 10.1.1.1
Umm.. no. The default gateway is for any request outside the local subnet and if 10.1.1.2 is the router out then this is correct. The routing table for host1 shows that no gateway is required for 10.1.1.0/24 and that all else (0.0.0.0) should be shoved out 10.1.1.2.
host3 = 101.1.1.10 / mask 255.255.255.0
If this is correct then this is the problem since 101.1.1.10 is not on the same subnet as host1 and therefore requests are being sent out the router. I wonder if host3 is actually online? If the above is a typo and host3 is actually 10.1.1.10 then maybe you should try resetting the switch because your routing tables look ok AFAIKT.
