if you do this, make sure you've made this revert to ip.c. the sources version has both lines, which is harmless but redundant. minooka; diff -c /n/dump/2010/0930/sys/src/9/ip/ip.c /n/dump/2010/0820/sys/src/9/ip/ip.c /n/dump/2010/0930/sys/src/9/ip/ip.c:463,469 - /n/dump/2010/0820/sys/src/9/ip/ip.c:463,469 } /* don't forward to source's network */ - memset(&conv, 0, sizeof conv); + conv.r = nil; r = v4lookup(f, h->dst, &conv); if(r == nil || r->ifc == ifc){ ip->stats[OutDiscards]++; - erik
