Thanks to those who responded about my Telnet delays in v8.0. The responses I received agree that the problem is most likely ARP cache table timeouts, which is something I suspected. In 7.3a, I believe the table entries did not time out. However, why should the gateway have to wait for an ARP reply to resolve a host on our on local net? All hosts on our 3 ethernets are subnetted on net 128.238... If the gateway sees a packet destined for 128.238.x.x, shouldn't it just look at the subnet bits and place the packet on the appropriate ethernet? Is there a way (other than static routes) that I can ensure that this happens? -- David Rubin | INTERNET: RUBIN@graf.poly.edu Polytechnic University | BITNET: RUBIN@POLYGRAF Brooklyn, NY |
