Mac uses BSD TCP/IP and hence it MUST work... if it doesn't than it must be a user error

Windows uses portions of the BSD TCP/IP stack too. Your point?

I remember you now -- Mr. Layer 2 router...

BTW, nice try. The TCP/IP stack used by MS was rewritten and contains zero code directly from the BSD stack. I just wanted to see if you'd bite...again.

Some of the TCP/IP utilities in MS contains BSD code -- and even the copyrights -- but the stack was completely rewritten.

InGreenwood @rr.com	Re: Last octet 255 bug on Windows? Is there a way to ban redhatnation, or do we only get to ignore him? We have enough misinformation here with out spreading it deliberately.
