Hi Ivan, Mac addresses only have local significance. So for your scenario, host X sends a packet with it's own MAC address as the source and the router TR interface as the destination MAC address. The router then rebuilds the packet and sends it out the ethernet interface with the Ethernet

Hmmmwho is your telco? For the old Concert network (now BT Ignite) I know they use ANSI LMI with a keep-alive interval of 10 secs. Make sure your settings match your telco's. What I always advise to do is to use a sniffer to see what's actually going on on the line. This way you can quickly

Hey Mark, First thing to do is use filters. Personally I use NAI's Sniffer Pro, which quickly allows you to select a session based on IP addresses and/or protocol. Ethereal should have this functionality as well. First create a filter based on the server's IP address, and look for any

Use a sniffer in combination with this log. This will help you identify which traffic opens the DDR link and which not. If there are any other ways, let me know. Rgds, Crestion Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=44815t=44798

Hey George, Before you start taking any actions, first use a Sniffer to see what is causing the delay. It's no use implementing anything unless you know it's going to be effective. Hth, Crestion Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=44604t=44355

Hi Rich, First thing to do is to trace the signal. I.e. what are the physical limits of the RF. Special wireless tools (like the Sniffer Wireless) are available to help you with this, but the software delivered with your Aironet can tell you a lot as well. If the signal stays within the

Hi Murali, This definitely is a strange problem. I would advise to put sniffers on both ends of the connection (so one between the NT Server and Router A and one between router C and the Win98 client), try to logon and than watch the packet flow for any anomalies. Especially keep an eye on the

RE: bit time [7:44144]

2002-05-14 Thread C restion
Hi Pierre, A bit-time is the time it takes to send a bit. For 10Mb Ethernet a bit-time is a 100 nanoseconds (10 Megabit per second, so 1 bit per 100 nanoseconds), for Fast Ethernet it is 10 nanoseconds and so on. So if a workstation on a Fast Ethernet network were to wait 5 bit-times, it
