Hmm, well ... I've got two of those, and I never had problems with RARP packets. I just checked; one of those switches has had an Ultra 30, an Ultra 60, and two SS5s netboot through it. Disclaimer: the FS108 is connected with a crossover to a 3Com switch. The RARP server is connected to the 3Com. -- Nathan Norman - Incanus Networking mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Q: What's the difference between a computer salesman and a used car salesman?
