I noticed that when I Pinged another machine, I would get back 2 replys for every echo request ping thought it sent out. When I looked at the traffic with a lanalyzer, I noticed that my machine was indeed sending out two packets for every one it thought it was sending out. It seemed to be doing this with ARP packets also. Is this a configuration problem? I also noticed that ifconfig says that the interface is configured with the SIMPLEX flag on, but I can't find any documenation on this. Could this flag have anything to do with the problem? Thanks for any help! Tony Hong thong@novalink.com
