hello list, just wondered if someone could satisfy my idle curiosity... i just downloaded ethereal and i've been playing around with capturing network traffic and looking through the results. i noticed that 99% of my traffic seems to be ARP requests from 65.27.80.1, with the request being "who has 65.xx.xx.xx?', with the address apparently cycling through all IP addresses under the 65 class a network. i assume this is fairly normal ARP procedure, but could anyone enlighten me as to exactly what's going on? or recommend a decent link for info? (most of the ones i've found seem to be more technical detail about the actual protocol, not how it is used..) i'm finding this network stuff fascinating and i'd like to try and work out what these various protocols are actually doing... thanks for any info! best, nick _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
