Hi Andrew,
I checked in ethereal ARPs request are for the correct address only.
I have already checked by giving different IP address to application and
Redboot. Problem is still the same.
Regards,

Hi Andrew,
I am running the server in the target. when i check in the ethereal two
ARP
packets are sent from the target and both of them are Gratuitous ARP. I
browsed in the net for Gratuitous ARP. In the following link
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/8672/network/arp.html?20061#A28
He says host sends ARP request to resolve its own IP address.
He also says in a properly configured network there will not be reply for
gratuitous ARP request.
This is just the target making sure nobody else is using the same
address it has been allocated. No reply is good.
When I run client in Linux PC client sends six ARP packets and stops.
This is bad. The target should of replied to the ARPs. I assume the
ARPs are for the correct address?
I am using the same IP in the Redboot. I tried with different IP in
Redboot
also. I am getting the same output.
Redboot and the application must have different addresses. Try again
with different addresses.
