(arp command) why and how eth0 is acting as a proxy (perhaps) for both the ports and how can i disable it? could anybody please help me in this concern. regards, -adarsh. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
