Don't worry, this isn't about picking fights. I just want to understand where this issue is coming from, just like you do. This so called client I'd is probably a host name but I have never seen that being used when using network monitors. What I'm trying to say is that the issue is probably not caused by this 'client id'. In the packets on the network you'll see the Mac addresses. This is the basic of top/ip. Host name are human name given to devices becaus they are easier to work with (and remember). Anyway, if this issue happens again, we should look at what the arp cache of the computer has. There we need to confirm if the IP address is acosiated with the correct MAC address. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pascal Hibon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7969 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98544 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
