I think I found the problem.  I seem to have another device on my network with the 10.0.1.51 IP address.  Now I have to figure out what that device is.

On 12/8/01 somewhere around the time of 3:36 PM -0500, Ryan La Riviere spoke about "network settings":

>For the first minute or so after the machine has booted, I can use the network.  I can ping, nslookup, ftp, etc.  After that minute or so, I can no longer do anything on the net.  I get disconnected from anything I'm doing.  If I try to ssh into the machine after that service has started (of which I get secure connection refused), I can't do anything on the network after logging in at the console.

>lo0: [standard stuff]

>My /etc/resolv.conf is setup correctly.

>My rc.conf is as follows:
>hostname="zanzabar"
>defaultroute="10.0.1.1"
>ifconfig_mc0="inet 10.0.1.51 netmask 255.255.255.0"

>sshd=YES

>10.0.1.1 is the IP of my base station doing the NAT.

>I don't have anything else running.  I haven't even been able to connect into the machine remotely with ssh.  I can ping it from another machine though. 
>
>I don't know where I should look for what is causing the problem.  It seems like there is something that is coming on line roughly a minute after the machine is fully up.  This sounds very weird.
