Re: Solaris 7 installation is sending 127.0.0.0/8 addresses on the ethernet network...

Check your arp tables and see if there's a mac address associated with 127.0.0.75, and ifso, then what. That's a good starting point. Not much else to say without more information or knowledge of a specific issue which would cause that (I'm not aware of any at this point). I also noted that it said the packet was of type IPv6. Maybe an IPv6 src addr was incorrectly interpreted by the kernel ip stack to be 127.0.0.75 based upon it's binary value or somesuch (just an off-the-wall guess, I'm probably entirely on the wrong track here, as I did not write the ip stack for Solaris)? Very odd indeed. Are you in promiscuous mode on a hub/spanning port, or is this actually a broadcast to the subnet that you're on, or what?
