I suspect this may be due to the interfaces being configured for IPv6. I
don't run IPv6 on my internal network so haven't tested my code with it.

This supports my theory about IPv6.

This is a perl 5.10.x thing. I see the same msg after upgrading to perl
5.10 - both with ActivePerl 5.10.0 and perl under cygwin 5.10.0.
I haven't worked out whether it's a problem in my code which was not
picked up by previous versions of perl, or whether it's a new bug in
perl 5.10.x

I need reports like yours to get the code to be more robust and be more
sure it will work in more environments, so thanks for using it and
thanks for the report.

Did you see Felix's reply in this thread about how to use the UDAP shell
to configure the SBR correctly? It has to be done in a certain order,
including a reset in the middle of the configuration. Might be worth
giving that a go.

I'll double check that, but I'm pretty sure DHCP=0.
Thanks again,
