Oh, so running tcpdump turns on promisc mode? I wasn't aware of that.
I did run it, so if I run it again I can just manually ifconfig eth0
-promisc afterwared. But why does promisc mode cause all of these
problems? If the answer to that is too lengthy, disregard it, I can
look it up probably. :-)
Thanks for the info
