I've tested 3C900 under FBSD 2.1.6.1 and found very interesting feature. I've played with two Intel Altair (P100) with one 3C900 in each machine. When both FBSD boxes have GATEWAY option turned off all works very well (upto 1Mbytes/s over FTP). But if i turn GATEWAY option on machnine A on, and run ping from machine B to any another machine then i get a lots duplicated packets (exactly there was 4 reply on each packet). I've looked through route table on machine B - it's ok, but when i do 'ping -R' then i see packet follows to A machine first, although 'traceroute' works right. Note if i turn on GATEWAY option on machine A too, it cause all Virus'95 station in this subnet to hangs. I've tried to put D-Link 220 ethernet adapter instead 3Com - now its working. Put 3Com back - troubles goes back too. Could anyone point me how to solve problem with 3C900? Is 2.2 works stable with 3Com realy? Anyway, thank all! -- Ilya Varlashkin
