Re: [Server-devel] XS 0.5 Second Attempt at eth1
I was hit by the same problem last week.. ARP works but no ping nor IP messages seem to get through. I am far away from the server now but I think the NIC was a CNet.

When I assign my laptop ethernet adapter as 172.18.96.1 and 172.18.0.1 I do get an ARP error from the server; however, when I bump it up one address 172.18.0.2 it still does not ping.

Re: [Server-devel] Server-devel Digest, Vol 20, Issue 7
There is definitely a problem with Bonding and old hardware , i have been gatting the same problems on two non branded machines both of which is based on socket 478 intel processors , and have onboard Marvel network cards and realtek pci network cards , the brand of the NIC's are same but they are of different models its safe to say that they were made within the last 5 years . Hardware aside is there a way of not using bonding in version 0.5 ?
