All,

I am new to sparc based linux and this problem is troubling me.  I have a
sparc10 running SuSE 7.3, kernel 2.2.20.  It is on a network with several
other machines, one of which happens to be a broadcast web server.  Every
time the broadcast server goes through an test run, flooding the network
with packets, my ss10 locks up.  It will accept a ping, however all
services, ssh, httpd, ftp are either hung, or not responding.  Even the
console is hung, it will not allow a root login.  The only way I have found
to resolve the situation is to power cycle the system.  From what I
understand of broadcast traffic, each machine that gets the packet must
respond.  Is there any way I can shut this off or reject these packets?
Does anyone else have some input that might help me.

Thanks in advance.
Ryan
