This is a problem with the NeXT version of TCP/IP. We reported the bug about the time the cut the 0.9 disks, but the bugfix didn't make it to the 0.9 distribution. The bug is fixed in 1.0. The "solutions" (haha) are to either reboot or wait it out. Think of it this way - it's incentive to convert to 1.0 as soon as you get the upgrade kit. :-) Gerrit Huizenga NeXT Workstation Support Purdue University Computing Center gerrit@mentor.cc.purdue.edu
