Hmmm.... Maybe the B cards are the reason that my GB2.2.0 is complaining about spoofing. I'm using 3-3c905b cards in a Micron ClientPro Vxe, Pentium, 64M. I get spoofing alarms several times a day (EXT network) that make it seem as though someone is trying to hack through. They occur randomly, and the addresses in the spoofing alarms do not exist on our networks (PRO, PSN, and EXT) - believe me, I've checked. The addresses in the spoof alarms are close to the class/address of the LAN (some more so than others), but they are never valid addresses. I've been suspecting that the 3c905 driver in GB does not like the 3c905b cards for some time now.
It's time to upgrade to 3.0 anyway..... -Stu -----Original Message----- From: Griffiths, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2000 11:00 AM To: 'Michael Geary'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: 3C509 vs. 3C509B?

Based on my experience with using both versions in Linux (RedHat), I would say that unless there is a specific drive in 3.x for the B cards (and I think there is -- please comment Paul or anyone else) that the B card will not work.
