Are you sure? that sounds very suspicious to me. What is your subnet
and subnetmask?  What broadcast address are you using?

The NetBSD machine says it thinks it's talking to 131.181.17.5.  (look
in sys/nfs/krb_subr, that's where the message is; that hex number is

It's really hard to tell with the names in your tcpdump output.
(I'm sure they're meaningful to you, but raw IP and MAC addresses
would be easier tome.) I woudl

You certainl have had your share of woes,d. I hope the wind changes soon.
