Scott Brim at Cornell has pointed an error in my instructions for installing subnetting in Suns. I suggest that you turn off ipforwarding. I gave a way to do this in adb. However I used the wrong letter. What I suggested would be harmless, and might even have some sensible applicatoin, but wasn't what I had intended. Let me try again: cp /vmunix /vmunix.OLD adb -w /vmunix _ipforwarding?W 0 ^D Did I get it right this time? This changes the copy of /vmunix on disk. It is also possible to change the incore copy, but it is probably easier just to do this and then reboot. Actually, since subnetting is going to require you to rebuild the kernel anyway, it might be better to patch ip_input.o. That way, any time you build a kernel you get the right thing. Otherwise you have to apply the patch to /vmunix every time you build a new kernel. In /usr/sys/OBJ you should find a file ip_input.o. cd /usr/sys/OBJ [or wherever you have the object files] cp ip_input.o ip_input.o.OLD adb -w ip_input.o _ipforwarding?W 0 ^D Now rebuild the kernel. -------
