Am i reading this correct? The PC is ARPing the switch device. The switch device is replying? What does tcpdump on the PC show? Are the ARP replies getting to it? Is the PC dropping the ARP replies? If the PC is dropping the ARP replies, take a look at the checksums. Wireshark is good at that. If the ARP replies are not making it to the PC, look at the switch statistics. ethtool -S lan4. Are the TX counts going up? Any error counts going up? Andrew
