Re: Ethernet Card and Broadcasts

[Bob Larkin <blarkin@xxxxxx>]

Bill,
What kind of broadcast is occurring. The AS/400 trace only shows comm data at 
the
highest levels of the transport. I would recommend an analysis using a sniffer,
such as SnifferPro. This will show all protocols and layers of your
communications.

I have seen problems with HP Jet Direct devices, WINS machines, master browsing
between workstations, and a host of other issues in networks. I have also found 
a
lot of very inefficient Client/Server code out there. If you ever have the
opportunity to examine the way traffic flows in your network at an application
level, you may be suprised. A good network technician can really enlighten
application folks in the art of communicating effectively.
