I'm attempting to set up a TCP socket connection using the MCB2300 eval board. The board sends an ARP request, but it is not answered by the gateway. Using Ethereal, I compared the ARP request with one from my PC. One difference is there are 18 trailing zeros in the packet. Is this expected behavior, and could this cause the gateway to ignore the request?
"bad" packet from MCB2300 gets no reply:
