Hello,


I just installed NetBSD/sparc64 on my Netra t1 105 and it exhibits a
very strange behaviour when trying to use the network which works
perfectly under Solaris 8.

My PC box (under FreeBSD) is 10.0.0.1 and the Sun one is 10.0.0.2.  Both
machines can't ping the other one.  If I sniff on the FreeBSD box when
trying to ping it from the Sun one :

17:25:48.673790 arp who-has 10.0.0.1 tell 10.0.0.2
17:25:48.673836 arp reply 10.0.0.1 is-at 0:50:4:e8:89:e3
17:25:49.680673 arp who-has 10.0.0.1 tell 10.0.0.2
17:25:49.680714 arp reply 10.0.0.1 is-at 0:50:4:e8:89:e3
17:25:50.680701 arp who-has 10.0.0.1 tell 10.0.0.2
17:25:50.680741 arp reply 10.0.0.1 is-at 0:50:4:e8:89:e3
17:25:51.680755 arp who-has 10.0.0.1 tell 10.0.0.2
17:25:51.680792 arp reply 10.0.0.1 is-at 0:50:4:e8:89:e3
17:25:52.680778 arp who-has 10.0.0.1 tell 10.0.0.2
17:25:52.680817 arp reply 10.0.0.1 is-at 0:50:4:e8:89:e3

The Sun box apparently never gets the arp reply since :

netra# arp -a
? (10.0.0.1) at (incomplete) on hme0

Ok, now it's starting to be scary :-)
On the FreeBSD box, if I try to ping the Sun one :

17:30:50.835752 arp who-has 10.0.0.2 tell 10.0.0.1
17:30:50.836006 arp reply 10.0.0.2 is-at 8:0:20:f9:8c:7a
17:30:50.836044 10.0.0.1 > 10.0.0.2: icmp: echo request
17:30:51.845828 10.0.0.1 > 10.0.0.2: icmp: echo request

It got the arp reply from the Sun box but it never gets anything else.

Now the worse part :

After several minutes of thinking, I'm trying again to ping the FreeBSD
box from the Sun one and it doesn't give me a host is down error
message, it's sending the pings but doesn't receive anything.  So I look
at the arp cache :

netra# arp -a
? (10.0.0.1) at 00:50:04:e8:89:e3 on hme0

I don't know how, but now it got the arp reply from the FreeBSD box.  A
look at the sniffer shows that I now receive the ping requests from the
Sun box and answers to them but as I already said, the Sun box doesn't
get anything back.

17:33:16.637694 10.0.0.2 > 10.0.0.1: icmp: echo request
17:33:16.637768 10.0.0.1 > 10.0.0.2: icmp: echo reply
17:33:17.637732 10.0.0.2 > 10.0.0.1: icmp: echo request
17:33:17.637807 10.0.0.1 > 10.0.0.2: icmp: echo reply

I'm quite confused and don't know at all what could be the problem since
I can ping any machine with Solaris 8.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated !

Thanks,
Maxime Henrion
