I spent the better part of a day tracking down a rather annoying problem. I would like someone more knowledgeable than myself to confirm this diagnosis.
I have a RH 8.0 Linux box with three NICS. I had been developing it testing with an XP box. Everything seemed groovy.
Today I went to put it into "production" and Win98 clients were having all sorts of problems.
eth2 is the system's "default" interface. eth1 is used for netatalk, and eth2 for samba. I have used the interfaces and nind interfaces only options in smb.conf.
You have 3 interfaces onto the same LAN? You fill find that you are only really using one of them, as the system will accept ARP requests on all for all IPs.
Problem solved. It turned out to be a faulty routing table. eth0 had no route to my network, so "stuff" was just leaking out the other interfaces, I guess. Once I fixed that, everything started working as expected.
I don't care what the system does with broadcast traffic. I just wanted samba and netatalk traffic segregated. This box is my lab images server.
