I would appreciate some help on the following. For a few reasons, machines running TCP/IP in our local network still use the old BSD 4.2 broadcast address format, i.e. host portion of the address all zeros, instead of the BSD 4.3 format, with the host portion with all ones. The problem here is that we don't know HOW TO CHANGE the format of the broadcast address in a HP9000 running HP-UX. We tried everything (even ifconfig, of course), but did not succeed. What are we missing?! Thank you for any help. --Henrique.
