Hi,

I noticed some strange behavior on a E4500 server running bootpd.
>From time to time (no discovered yet the reason), two things happen at
once:

1. the logs are filled up with messages like:

	bootpd[26249]: bad addr len from Ethernet address 52.41.53.xx.xx.xx

2. the network connection is not working, e.g. rlogin/telnet/ftp does not
work but the machine answers to ping - at this moment in CDE could not
open any terminal/console windows.


any idea ?


thanks.
Adrian.
