The problem is probably simply that the 4.2 rhwod throws away malformed packets, which is OK except that the check is overly stringent and it throws out all hostnames with '-' in them. Change an "isalnum" in rwhod.c to "isprint", say. I am really do expect your ethernet is a broadcast medium and that IFF_BROADCAST is set; try ifconfig <device>. (like "il0"). (Course ifconfig had its bugs too, but they shouldn't affect this.) Jay Lepreau, lepreau@utah-cs, harpo!utah-cs!lepreau
