(I would assume not). Not a fxp0 driver problem. I have similar problems using the SMC ETh10/100 with Digital chipset. I'm running 2.1R and have these problems. I will be supping to current (6/8) which seems to be stable on another test server. Beyond just not reaching any other local nodes, I have occasions where I can only reach some nodes on our LAN. We have lots of proxy-arps from our xyplex terminal servers. On average, over 200 arp entries. I patched for some of the proxy-arp bugs, but still have similar problems. -ken
