I just tried a 'tcpdump ed1' and got the following error: > tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: Device not configured >could this be my problem? That's because you don't have any BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter?) devices in your kernel -- I forgot that they aren't there by default. You'll need to add something like pseudo-device bpfilter 2 to your kernel config, and remember to MAKEDEV bpf[01] if those device nodes don't already exist. Maybe you could try switching your two networks onto the opposite cards and see if the behaviour changes. At least then we would know if it's hardware or just a software config problem. >Thank you for all your time, >Stephane R. No problem. It's what this list is here for.
