Note that I can use the switch, I just cannot While I don't like to reply to myself, I've almost figured this one out. I have another 3com device - a home wireless gateway (802.3 to 802.11b bridge) - whose internal interface has a mac address close to the incorrect one I'm getting for the .254 address. I'm guessing 3com has hardcoded the backend interface of the wireless gateway with and ipaddress of .254. If I unplug the gateway from the switch, everything works fine. However, this doesn't explain why Linux is having a problem and Windows 2000 clients are not. Is there an explanation for this? Thanks! John LeMay Jr. Senior Enterprise Consultant NJMC, LLC.
