My guess is that the other system you're talking to hasn't flushed it's arp cache. When DECnet-ULTRIX starts up it changes the physical address of the Ethernet Card to aa-00-04-00-XX-YY (where XX-YY is of the relation XX * 256 + YY = a * 1024 + n (a.n)). If the remote system doesn't flush it's arp cache, it will recognize the system. Since DECnet-ULTRIX is started before IP, you should only experience this one (the first time DECnet-ULTRIX is installed). If the remote system BSD-based, try doing a '/etc/arp -d yourname' on the remote system. This will delete the arp entry from the arp cache. > 2) I have several spare rz55 drives on a server.
