If yournetwork is supposed to have a /24 netmask (255.255.255.0) but you set itto /25 (255.255.255.128) on that one machine, that would explain whythat machine thinks 10.0.3.127 is the correct broadcast address. Whatnetmask does that machine have?James [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-----From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf OfAzhar TezaSent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 3:12 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Broadcast Packet [7:60738]I have a small network where users have been complaining of slowness. Idecided to run sniffer and was really confused about a machine runningon ip address 10.0.3.10 sending a packet to a non-existing ip addresswhich is 10.0.3.127. I understand that broadcast will be sent to allthe hosts in the network only to existing ip addresses, but don'tunderstand why the broadcast is going to 10.0.3.127. It doesn't effectthe machine, butofcourse its taking the bandwidth on the ethernet wire.
