We at Bull Hn are having a few problems with ISCs TCP/IP version 1.1 and would like to know if people who have installed ISC's 1.2 TCP/IP still have them, and if any other new problems have surfaced. Is the dead-socket problem solved? Steve Cohen Bull Hn

I am currently running ISC's TCP/IP version 1.1 with the 3C503 Ethernet card. I am experiencing a kernel panic everytime my machine attempts to answer an arp request. My settings shown by 'ifconfig el0' are as follows: el0: flags=807<UP,BROADCAST,DEBUG,ARPDEV> inet 128.247.157.220 netmask ffff0000 broadcast 128.247.255.255 I have talked to ISC Tech support and they tell me to set up my netmask to match what my Sun machines have. Well, the Suns do have the same netmask and are in the same class network and domain as I am in. When looking thru an Ethernet sniffer, we see that different unknown Sun machines (on different domains with the first two octets in the TCP/IP address being the same but still within our company) broadcast an arp request, and then my ISC machine attempts to answer but panics instead. I tried to disable my machines attempts at answering by placing the argument "-arp" in the "ifconfig" command in the /etc/netd.conf file but after reading the manual page on ifconfig, I found that this option is not yet supported! Does anyone out there in netland know any work-around? Thanks for your help! -- Markus R.
