Packets being generated by my Proteon P4200 running V8.1 are the culprit. The packets give alignment errors and carry the source and destination ethernet addresses of 020701000000 and have packet type of Proteon (7030). I believe that these packets are used by the p4200 for loopback tests on the Ethernet to see that the interface is alive. So, do you know why these packets give alignment errors? Know how to stop it? -- Dale Smith, Assistant Director of Network Services University of Oregon Internet: dsmith@oregon.uoregon.edu Computing Center BITNET: dsmith@oregon.bitnet Eugene, OR 97403-1212 Voice: (503)686-4394
