Vanilla SB2, but I'm using the latest 6.2beta, with firmware 19. Dean suggested there have been no TCP/IP firmware changes since 15, so it probably wouldn't help resolve the problem you are seeing. empedia Wrote: > If the SB2 is spoofing the MAC address etc. how does the MAC address > resolve to the correct PC - i.e. when I ping my bridged PC how does my > PC know to "route" the ping via the SB2 - if that makes sense? The PCs on either side wouldn't know - they just see the slim as the destination. But packets do contain both a Mac address and an IP address, and certainly slim sees this IP address and can forward to the correct PC. A device is uniquely identified by its IP/Mac address. You can install Ethereal on your non-bridged PC and see what packets slim is forwarding to it. -- MrC _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
