- Got it. But my network still doesn't work. When I hardcode the arp
- tables on the sun, the Amiga doesn't recognize *any* incoming packets. I
- have now determined that the only packets the Amiga was responding to
- previously were arp packets.
-
- Packets are reaching the Sun. watch-net from the prom mode show good
- packets comming in. Maybe I can install some kind of packet sniffer on
- the sun.
-
- Durring some testing, I was getting overruns on the amiga side. Other
- times just unknown packets mixed in with the received packets.
