Hi all,

I have three BPQ32 machines in the home  LAN and they talk each other by 
using bpqether ports.  One machine has two network cards and the other 
two have one card each, so the box with two cards interconnect all three 
boxes in a 'chain':


                 _____________       ______________     ______________
VHF          | BPQ32 4.10f  |     |  BPQ32 4.10f    |   | BPQ32 4.10f    |
TRX-TNC2-|                    | -- | FPAC 3.28.18   |--|       |
ant           |____________|     |______________|   |_____________|

                         (1)                        (2)         (3)

                  192.168.1.2   <-->    192.168.1.1
                                               192.168.0.1    <--> 
192.168.0.2


All comps are dual-boot. The box with two NICs is dual-boot with Debian 
6.0.4 and I put FPAC 3.28.18 there. I managed to force FPAC talking via 
bpq0 (eth0) to the BPQ32 comps.

Although the three nodes communicate each-other, I discovered an 
annoying traffic of FPAC filling up the BPQ32 monitoring screen: In 
fact, it sends the rows bellow continually to the box (3), on the right 
in the Fig. above:

12:52:53R YT7MPB-15>QST Port=1 <UI> <ARP Request> Who Has 192.168.0.2? 
Tell 192.168.0.1
12:52:54R YT7MPB-15>QST Port=1 <UI> <ARP Request> Who Has 192.168.0.2? 
Tell 192.168.0.1
12:52:55R YT7MPB-15>QST Port=1 <UI> <ARP Request> Who Has 192.168.0.2? 
Tell 192.168.0.1
12:52:57R YT7MPB-15>QST Port=1 <UI> <ARP Request> Who Has 192.168.0.2? 
Tell 192.168.0.1
12:52:58R YT7MPB-15>QST Port=1 <UI> <ARP Request> Who Has 192.168.0.2? 
Tell 192.168.0.1

... and the similar traffic it sends to the box (1), on the left in the 
Fig. above:

12:52:59R YT7MPB-14>QST Port=1 <UI> <ARP Request> Who Has 192.168.1.2? 
Tell 192.168.1.1
12:53:01R YT7MPB-14>QST Port=1 <UI> <ARP Request> Who Has 192.168.1.2? 
Tell 192.168.1.1
12:53:02R YT7MPB-14>QST Port=1 <UI> <ARP Request> Who Has 192.168.1.2? 
Tell 192.168.1.1
12:53:03R YT7MPB-14>QST Port=1 <UI> <ARP Request> Who Has 192.168.1.2? 
Tell 192.168.1.1
...etc ...

To locate the issue, I reboot the box in the middle to Win/BPQ32 again, 
and the production of those funny lines stops. Any idea?

By the way, ifconfig returns the following:

Hi all,

I have  three BPQ32  machines in  the home  LAN and  they talk  each 
other by using bpqether ports.  One machine has  two network cards  and 
the other two have one card each, so the box with two cards interconnect 
all of them in a chain. When everything is up, all three BPQ32 nodes see 
each other, netrom works too in between, etc.

Al three comps  are dual-boot (with  either Debian 6.04 or  Ubuntu 
10.04.2). Now I want to experiment  with  connecting  a BPQ32  node  to 
a FPAC node. It seems that FPAC nodes need axudp ports  to see the  rest 
of the  world, but if  I replace bpqether with axip  at BPQ32  comps, 
they  stop talking  each other  (I mean all three BPQ32 nodes).

On the  other side, I  do not know  if it is possible to use bpqether 
approach in FPAC (in a way bpq works  in Linux Node; I mean to configure 
ports bpq0, bpq1, etc.  instead of  ax0, ax1,  rose0, rose1,  etc.) In 
fact, some  time ago  I managed to interconnect a BPQ32 machine  with a 
Linux Node machine, by using only bpqether mode at the Windows side, and 
only bpq module at the Linux side. Any idea?
