NetBEUI is a wire protocol, like the IP part of TCP/IP. It's just a format for data packets on an Ethernet. It's pretty simple and limited, but it works okay for a batch of computers that are locally connected. (it's not routable, so you can't use it to talk with stuff outside a local LAN.)
The bug here is probably in either the WPA encryption code on the router, or the WPA decryption code on the Squeezebox. The packet could be getting munged in either step, or in some combination of both. The fact that it works okay in WEP mode makes me believe that both devices know they should ignore those packets normally. If forced at gunpoint, I'd bet that it was something in the Squeezebox's WPA decryption routine that's not quite right. Even if the Motorola device is encrypting the packet 'wrong', I don't _think_ it should matter... the Squeezebox should detect the invalid packet type and throw it away. So that's where I'd look first, if I needed to fix the problem. That is, however, an extremely unexpert opinion. And obviously, the easy solution is, "don't use NetBEUI anymore". :) -- Malor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Malor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1961 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22341 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
