i guess you are right that there is some sort of filtering being done. because the arp command gives the same physical address of the hosts in my subnet.
Internet Address Physical Address Type 211.16.12.1 00-05-5f-ee-e0-54 dynamic 211.16.13.14 00-05-5f-ee-e0-54 dynamic for all other hosts as well the physical address is same as above. I guess the physical address is of the access server that out host is connecting to (or rather for the same subnet all hosts connect to this same access server, could be a dhcp server as well). i guess it is a switched environment. but still the physical address for different hosts should show up as different. anyone knows what is going on here ???? --- sam sneed wrote: > I just changed services from DSL to cable modem.
