Please log in for more thread options I started this thread May 14, 2004 (ref: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.internet.wireless/browse_frm/thread/9fe1fd848ca33fb6/377df606dac2b44d?&hl=en#377df606dac2b44d) I just discovered that SMC has a firmware upgrade v2.08 (Mar 9 2005) that was much later than the version I had been running (Dec 2003, after an upgrade to 1.951 they had sent me in May/2004 proved to be even more faulty). Checked all the files on my Yahoo!Groups site with full firewall security turned on and had no access problem. Pinged all the known file server domain names and discovered that f4.grp.yahoofs.com no longer points to a .255 address! Maybe Yahoo got wise. I'm no wiser whether SMC actually fixed their mistaken handling of incoming packets from .0 and .255 addresses. At least, they were still supporting the product with new firmware up to a year ago!
