I have further information on this issue now. I've just fitted a Sun qfe card to the machine, and the 4 ports are detected as hme2 thru hme5. This card does appear to negotiate full-duplex mode with the switch, and my services can still listen on udp ports on that interface when it is in this mode. If I try forcing full-duplex, the problem comes back. So, to summarise: - Old hme's won't auto negotiate, confirming Tom's comment. Only way to get them in full-duplex mode is to force it. - New hme's/qfe's DO auto negotiate, so theres no need to force them to full-duplex. - Any time you force full-duplex on an hme driven interface, udp ports can't be listened on. So, it's not a problem for me anymore, but theres still something odd going on. Regards, Jason
