4438.0. "Source Address is Invalid, Rmon Mgr" by BARNA::DSMAIL () Tue May 27 1997 11:48

    
    
    I've running Rmon Mgr. v3.3 with DECpacketProbe rev2.7
    Today I've tried to capture some data running the Data Capture with
    a source address so innocent as 00-aa-00-ae-02-be, the application
    complains with a 'Source Address is invalid' also with
    00-aa-00-ae-02-bf, 00-aa-00-ae-02-b8. If I use the destination address
    instead, I get the message 'Destination Address is invalid'.
    
    If I write 00-aa-00-ae-02-b0 the address being filtered is
    00-aa-00-ae-02-be, if I write 00-aa-00-ae-02-b1 the address
    being filtered is 00-aa-00-ae-02-bf.
    
    Do you undestand me ?
    
    These address belong to some Intel Port devices used as a serial or
    parallel printer net controller, using IPX or TCP protocols. 
    
    Every other addresses that I've tried, used as source or destination
    are valid.
    
    Please can you tell me if this a known problem or what to do to made
    somebody fix it.
