I think the dump that i got suggests something more strange than that. This is what i can make of the dump: this is the ip header (with src addr: 192.168.102.22 and dest addr: 192.168.10.29) 45 0 0 80 0 0 40 0 ff 1 2d f8 c0 a8 66 16 c0 a8 66 1d this is the icmp header (echo reply) 0 0 e4 48 11 d 0 0 the regular ping data follows 14 5d d4 3a 63 1 a 0 8 9 a b c d e f 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f 20 21 22 23 Now, it is expecting 24, 25, 26,.....but the outer ip & icmp header and data (as above) follows again.... 45 0 0 80 0 0 40 0 ff 1 2d f8 c0 a8 66 16 c0 a8 66 1d 0 0 0 0 11 d 0 0 14 5d d4 3a 63 1 a 0 8 9 a b c d e f 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f 20 21 22 23 it is very hard to imagine the scenario which can lead to this... I will try your suggestion.. > And what NIC are you using btw? as i said earlier, Intel Ethernet Pro 100... imran - 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/
