Discovered today that NT has the built in ability to drown your network and stomp on the routers cpu. Seems if someone sets up 2 NT domain masters or whatever that Netbios garbage is called, they attempt to "hold an election." The election is comprised of slamming every machine it can find and then every broadcast address it can think of with udp on port 137. After a few minutes of it an RSP4 gets real tired and you start losing packets as well as the switches all falling apart after trying to forward the zillion mbits/sec of useless data. Anyone else seen anything like this? -- Jason Weisberger Chief Technology Officer SoftAware, Inc. 310/305-0275
