rarpd: cannot find xxx on net xxx


Hi,

I need to use rarpd to netboot my SPARCstation 5 from my OpenBSD 3.8 laptop. When it connects I got the message:

rarpd: got a packet
rarpd: 08:00:20:76:39:df
rarpd: warning: cannot find 192.168.1.12 on net 10.0.0.0


What could be the problem?

my /etc/ethers file:
8:0:20:76:39:df

my /etc/hosts file:
# $OpenBSD: hosts,v 1.11 2002/09/2623:35:51 krw Exp $
#
# Host Database
# RFC 1918 specifies that these networks are "internal".
# 10.0.0.0 10.255.255.255
# 172.16.0.0 172.31.255.255
# 192.168.0.0 192.168.255.255
::1 localhost.jeroen localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.jeroen localhost
::1 laptop-jeroen.jeroen laptop-jeroen
127.0.0.1 laptop-jeroen.jeroen laptop-jeroen
192.168.1.12 807639df


thanks in advance!

What is the ip address and netmask of your OBSD system?

10.0.0.164, collected via dhcp from the router.

And this is with one network card or two?

If it is with one, then you are serving out an ip address of 192.168.1.12 on a network of 10.x.x.x; which is not very productive. If it is two cards, you probably need to set the ip address and netmask for the second card and ensure it is the one answering the rarpd request.

I can see from the source code that this is a non-fatal error... does everything work right now and you're wondering about the error, or are things not working? I would think that things wouldn't work like this but maybe they do.
