ok i have changed the subnet to 255.255.255.0 with no
change. The tcpdump command reveals something along
the lines of "arp who-has 10.0.40.1 tell 10.0.40.2"
with some numbers at the front of it. Thats on Eth1
which is the integrated NIC. I'm going to remove the
accton and change the integrated to the internal
settings and see what happens..

for a class C network. The default network mask is 255.255.255.0 then you can subnet from there borrowing bits from the fourth octet. Supernetting does not work well. The alternative is to use the 172.31.0.0 network with netmask 255.255.0.0 instead of the Class C one you are using. This will allow 2 to the power 16 minus 2 hosts. -- Regards Bill Antonia Network Manager Beacon Community College North Beeches Road Crowborough East Sussex TN6 2AS Tel 01892 603000 Fax 01892 664562
