Just to add a little bit of fuel to this....

We have a 3 Com B2000 bridge/router and it does NOT work.  It will
work for a few minutes after reset and then keep doing ARP for a broadcast
address.

ethernet monitor:

ARP received from router.chem.umanitoba.ca for 130.179.19.255

They agreed to take it back but suggested us to do more tracing first.
I have the feeling that we are forced to debug/beta-test their firmware...
