What OS is on 192.168.0.226? Apparently this particular machine is trying to contact a WINS server. If it is a Windows box see <http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/evaluate/technol/tcpipfund/tcpipfund_ch12.mspx> to see every place to check for a WINS configuration. If computer 192.168.0.226 was not using WINS (which it must be), then you would get a BROADCAST message, not a UNICAST. - James W. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
