Hopefully Jim Patient won't think this is "advertising", so I'll post it here. It is likely that you may be seeing a duplex mismatch at some point in the network. Another possibility is that you have an incomplete bridge somewhere (backhaul maybe?), such as would occur with an 802.11 based client-ap setup. Without more information, it's hard to say what could be causing this issue. State "init" means that we have seen the hello(s) from the neighbor, but they have not seen ours. This indicates some failure of packets in one direction, so I am guessing a duplex problem. -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * ******************************************************************** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
