I thought it was caused by the BPF (because it happened when I compiled in BPF). But it went away after I rebooted. I'm glad this happened to you because in confirms my problem. I'm sorry I can't help though... (BTW, my problems were with 2.0R (with the one line patch to PPP). My network link was PPP, but since you had the problem with ethernet, it seems to be somthing higher up than the IF code... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 598 4480, Fax: +1 617 598 4430 Net: witr@rwwa.COM R.W.
