From all I can tell it was harmless (i.e. TCP sorts it out for you). The transmit timeouts look bad though - is anything ever going out on t= he wire? =46or some reason or other, I haven't had EtherNEC compiled in for quit= e some time now. Perhaps it's time to give that another good beating. Something might have broken in the NE2k code for m68k. Cheers, Michael
