Yes, I was already using the tulip.c v0.91, but just to be sure, I checked
that things didn't work (I switched off the ping in crontab).
Things didn't work.
A problem is that I've only got a very limited network to test things in
(two computers)...

Anyway, without me pinging the other computer, no connections will be
available.

Any ideas?

If you'd be interested in telling me the commands for checking and
monitoring arp-functions, I could maybe help more actively...

Thank you.

 I don't suffer from insanity.
 I enjoy *every* minute of it!
