Note that you also could get dupes as a result of the client PC, i.e. the one FROM which you are pinging your Linux machine.
I saw this happen a couple times at my old job... a kid was pinging a host from a Win95 PC and was getting dupes... it turned out that he had Client for Microsoft Networks in there twice, and bound to TCP/IP both times... we took out the extra one and he was fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: Remco van 't Veer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Debian List <debian-user@lists.debian.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 1999 9:03 AM Subject: ping duplicate packets > Hi, > > This is not directly Debian related, sorry. > > Today I pinged my box over the Internet and the ping util reported it > received some duplicated packets.
