Further to this problem I have experimented some more and have the following results, all on the one machine, using different cards, attempting to run netatalk on the same network: Card Description: Driver (Module): Results: ----------------- ---------------- -------- Intel EtherExpressPro 100 (builtin) eepro100 BAD Digital 21140 tulip BAD Western Digital 8013EPC wd Excellent While all work fine for regular IP (the first 2 especially nice as they do 100Mbps) only the last one is consistently good for seeing the (large) appletalk network we have here...weird, annoying and frustrating... 8<--------------------------------------->8 Richard Shepherd ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Phone: 07-838-4764 8<--------------------------------------->8 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
