Wondered when someone was gonna mention that. Brings back lots of bad memories. Troubleshooting it was a royal pain too. Although not quite as bad as this. When we started switching to Ethernet, we bought some noname NICs and honest, we got three with the same MAC address. That was a real challenge figuring why when this one particular computer got turned on, another one would quit talking to the NetWare server. Anyone remember suing the Perstor eRLL controllers. That was fun too.
