Hi, 

   I've been having problems with my ethernet on my
Quadra 660av, using the onboard ethernet (MACE mc0). 
The computer is able to recieve a address via DHCP,
but then after that it suddenly can't 'hear' any
network traffic unless it's in promisc mode.  The
ethernet works, I've tried it in MacOS without a
problem.  I've checked and double checked the routing
tables, the mygate, hostname.if entries and done
everything the INSTALL document mentions, with no
avail.  I found another mention of this in the
newgroup in 2001, I have pasted it below.  No one
responded to the problem.  If anyone can help me I
would really appreciate it.

Nate
