problem witch HWaddr on GRE

[czesiek]

Hi,
I have problem with set GRE tunnel between two gentoo routers. Both have 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 kernel and and the ping between networks works only in one way.
On one router (I can't ping the network behin him) the HWaddr is CHANGING !! On the second machine everithing is ok

~ # ifconfig gre_prosz
gre_prosz Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr D9-AD-C6-07-85-BF-08-F2-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

How can I fix it??

:cry:Looks like vmware pseudo HWAddr numbers. As for them changing araound, don't know. How about not using that product but using 'Gentoo' itsself

hmmm, but I don't use vmware, or eny kind of virtual machine... that is gentoo router
