[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] Duplicate ping packets on a local a

carlson@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu (11/23/89)

It is not the hosts' protocols.
Ping doesn't use TCP, and IP/ICMP should never rebroadcast.
Thus the problem must be below the IP level. How intelligent 
are the Ether/uWave interfaces?  Maybe they are too clever for
their good.  Have you tried putting a netwatcher/packet sniffer
on each end?  Are ARP packets also being duplicated?
