Asking questions of customers so that you get helpful answers can be difficult. With troubleshooting, there's an entire set of "soft skills" that can help you avoid never hearing from your customer again, which certainly doesn't seem like the best outcome, (well except for the jerks maybe. :-) The directed broadcast question is intriguing. Why can't we focus on that instead of all the BS answers. What would cause a router to forward directed broadcasts even though you told it not to? Maybe he has the "no ip directed-broadcasts" on the wrong interface? Mabye there's a subnet mask problem? Maybe he has a helper address that points to a directed broadcast and that ignores the "no ip directed-broadcasts" command, which focuses on ordinary packet forwarding. Maybe we can only guess without more info. I hope we didn't miss the chance to help him with the actual question and also help him learn how to get help.
