Hello,

  I'm still trying to get the 9.6 Netwatch/PD to work using the
packet drivers. The problem is, that with the NI5010, NETWATCH only
sees broadcast packets. In fact when I start it, it shows the first
packet that comes (that may be of any type) and then only shows
broadcasts (the counters say "pckts: n+1 brdcst: n"). What can cause
this behaviour? Somebody said the NI5010 does not support promiscous
mode, but on the other hand NETWATCH using the "plain" NI5010 interface
works great. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance....
