[Sheflug] Curses and damnation

["Chris J/#6" <nospam [at] nccnet.co.uk>]

After a little playing, it seems it's tcpdump on the sparc that's giving me 
the IP in a funny format - just doing tcpdump's with eth0 (ie, the cheap 
Realtek) - ping's are getting replied to and tcpdump is still reporting a 
back-to-front IP.

So...this still leaves me with a 3com card that isn't responding to 
pings...and its nowt to do with ARP, as the sparc is trying to reply to them, 
which it does correctly else the Linux box couldn't ping it.

The 3com doesnt' seem to receive the ARP replies though - tcpdump on the 
linux box tells me about the ARP who-has packet, but nothing about the ARP 
reply.

Hmm...more digging required.

Chris...
