Thanks to all that responded, And thanks especially to Steven Haywood who helped me spot the mistake. An interesting one at that, this server is a firewall running FW1, When I configured the interfaces, I took the external IP from the License info (I cut & pasted the whole lot, then used the IP in the lisence to configure the card) This one was a knock on mistake, traced back to a Checkpoint typo. So I am gonna have to contack Checpoint and get them to correct the lisence also. The moral of this one is.... Never trust that someone else got it right, if you want to be sure.... check it yourself ! (Oh, and always keep your e-mails that request changes, then you can prove to wasn't you ;-) ) Thanks again, this list is so fast......

I have a multi homed host, connected to three networks as follows, 13.14.116.0 255.255.252.0 13.14.233.0 255.255.255.0 193.129.65.208 255.255.255.240 Ifconfig output shows two of the broadcast addresses are wrong. # ifconfig -a lo0: flags=849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 8232 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 qfe0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 193.219.65.209 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 193.219.65.255 ether 8:0:20:e2:2b:74 qfe1: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 13.14.116.29 netmask fffffc00 broadcast 13.14.119.255 ether 8:0:20:e2:2b:75 qfe2: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 13.14.233.1 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 13.14.233.255 ether 8:0:20:e2:2b:76 /etc/host shows: 193.219.65.209 msxgbgw2 loghost 13.14.233.1 msxgbdmz-1 13.14.116.29 msxgbint /etc/hostname.qfe0 msxgbgw2 /etc/hostname.qfe1 msxgbint /etc/hostname.qfe2 msxgbdmz-1 I have checked how the server calls ifconfig at boot, /etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc shows /usr/sbin/ifconfig -au netmask + broadcast + So I would expect the broadcast address to be calculated based on the netmask. Does anyone know why the Broadcast addresses are wrong?
