Subject: [suse-sparc] Broadcast traffic halts system

    All,

    I am new to sparc based linux and this problem is troubling me. I have a
    sparc10 running SuSE 7.3, kernel 2.2.20. It is on a network with several
    other machines, one of which happens to be a broadcast web server. Every
    time the broadcast server goes through an test run, flooding the network
    with packets, my ss10 locks up. It will accept a ping, however all
    services, ssh, httpd, ftp are either hung, or not responding. Even the
    console is hung, it will not allow a root login. The only way I have found
    to resolve the situation is to power cycle the system. From what I
    understand of broadcast traffic, each machine that gets the packet must
    respond. Is there any way I can shut this off or reject these packets?
    Does anyone else have some input that might help me.

    Thanks in advance.
    Ryan
