In practice I need several computers connected to a switch to share a single interface and look to the rest of LAN as a single node. All those computers must receive all packets desitned to that interface. Using non-multicast MAC confuses many switches. Any suggestions? (Except not using a switch ;)) Regards, Alex PS isn't this approach (forbidding certain addresses) a tad Microsoftish? Like saving users from themselves?
