Does anybody know any details about the so-called NT sniper bug?  That
is, Windows NT under some circumstances is said to randomly select
packets off the wire and fire off ICMP host unreachables to one of the
addresses in that packet.

I'm told that it's believed this happens only with the SMC Elite Ultra
card; can anyone confirm this?  Is there a fix?


Thanks,

Brian
