Hello, With the changes taking place I have been monitoring both the " old " and the " new " addresses. I'm receiving rip broadcasts from both and additionally similar broadcasts to the two lines below on the " old " address only. amprgw.sysnet.ucsd.edu > 172.16.1.4: IP (tos 0x0, ttl 111, id 14685, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 90) 218-228-138-51f1.osk3.eonet.ne.jp.25465 > mb7njd.ampr.org.3544: [udp sum ok] UDP, length 62 I have little knowledge of the meaning of this and would appreciate someone explaining it to me. Thanks in advance. ( Monitored from eth0 at 172.16.1.4 which is in DMZ ) Regards, Ian..
