If I'm correct, the NIC will pass all packets to the kernel of your operating system. The kernel will handle these packets instead of the NIC dropping the packets that does not have its destination to you. - Ronald van der Westen On Wed, Mar 19, 2008 at 2:51 PM, Simon Templar <73696d6f6e74656d706c617200@googlemail.com> wrote:
