I have two machines on my network using the same Internet address, and without network analysis tools, I am having trouble identifying the culprit. Could somebody please tell me which manufacturer uses the Ethernet address AA:0:4:X:X:X. Thanks alot... Reply to: Steve Lodin lodin%koiasvr01.uucp@ee.ecn.purdue.edu or lodin@koess.gm.hac.com

Could >somebody please tell me which manufacturer uses the Ethernet address >AA:0:4:X:X:X. That's the format of a DEC ethernet address after DECnet is done with it. The X:X:X is typically a 0 followed by the 16-bit combination of the area and node number 6bits of area and 10bits of node, little-endian. DECnet overrides the default ethernet address on the board with this result. An example for host 42.8 is AA:0:4:0:8:A8. Gerard Robinson
