I have CentOS 5 with DECnet (kernel-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5.decnet.i686.rpm) and I have problem with dnping utility. When I sniffered the DECnet ping communication and opened the sniff file in Ethereal, Ethereal displays that packet are malformed. Could anybody help me with this issue?

Without wanting to be judgemental on the issue I would first suspect 
ethereal/wireshark. If the packets are returned correctly from a remote 
(DEC) host then they are likely to be OK. If you're getting actually 
malformed packets then a VMS system won't touch them.

If they are malformed then I would suspect your ethernet card, driver or 
other things that are in the way of the traffic.


Is this symptomatic of another problem you are having ?
