IP Networking

I finally got an error message from them.

protocol ARP
destination Broadcast

duplicate use of IP's detected

My configuratin looks like this

---> data line ---> switch1 ---> Router1 and Router2 on HSRP ----> switch2 ---> servers

I don't understand why their side would see my IP on both routers if it is
on HSRP standby?

Found the problem.

cable had to be a cross connect. Apparently connecting a switch to switch
will cause this, so I just connected directly to router.

Found out when both sides took off auto and put duplex full and speed 100.
It did not connect. So having auto really was the problem.

Also found some errors in duplicate ARP broadcasts in the process, that I fixed.

Thanks for leading me in right direction.

I also found a great tool for snooping on network, besides brain 1.0.

so give us a link... maybe it helps other people also!

Well, the network guys were using Wireshark, I have not had time
to look at it to much but the output they sent me was really nice and
it is a free tool.

What do you think. I would like to implement a monitor for the
network. Wireshark output looks like huge files. How do you usually monitor
the network to find errors?

on solaris with the "snoop" tool. but under all other os with wireshark...
