Edwin/Matt/Bob...er....which OS are you running NT 4.0 ? You don't say, unless
you were an un-quoted earlier part of this thread ?

I run both Win95 an NT4.0 machines on my home net. Behind a P75 now running
5.1A.
I do not have any problems with the Pipeline bringing up the line when it 
should not, or failing to when it should. I even run NAT to throw another
complexity at it.

Maybe we could compare workstation configurations ? I have no filters
enabled on
the P75 *at all*.
