1) Now I've re-read the chapter in the Ascend manual a couple of times and I'm a bit confused about the Input Filter and the Output Filter. Ascend P50 User Guide 10-7 "If the filter is applied as a data filter on Ethernet, it affects packets from the Ethernet INTO the pipeline or from the Pipeline OUT to the Ethernet." So my NetBIOS filters should be in the Input Filter, right ? 2) Below on the Right is the filter as described on Ascend's Web site, but if I enter the information on my P50 I get the filter on the Left. Is it normal I have some 0000 on the Mask and Value or do I need to get a full line of FF. [Filter to stop RIP, ARP and Netbios messages] Out Filter 01 Out Filter 01 Generic Generic Forward=No Forward=No Offset=0 Offset=0 Length=6 Length=6 Mask=ffffffffffff0000 Mask=ffffffffffff Value=ffffffffffff0000 Value=ffffffffffff Compare=Equals Compare=Equals More=No More=No 3) Now do I need to put this filter in the Call Filter or the Data filter ? Or can I put them in both ? 4) The filters as described on Ascend's web page <A HREF="http://www.ascend.com/service/technotes/filter_nt.html">http://www.ascend.com/service/technotes/filter_nt.html</A> for eliminating the NetBIOS/NetBEUI master browser broadcast is the same as the one they describe for stopping DEC MOP_RC broadcast ? Thanks a lot for answering these questions, I know they might seem simple but they *are* driving me mad ;-) As at the moment I always remove the DIAL number and save my profile to disable my filter problem ;-) Erik Bussink erik@bussink.ch -- Erik Bussink <erik@bussink.ch> <A HREF="http://www.bussink.ch/">http://www.bussink.ch/</A> MIME attachments supported, PGP key available on request.
