Haven't found the culprit yet, but it looks like the solution path has
been found. As most people indicated, there is another machine(s) on
the net that thinks it has the same IN# as mine (Mine is from an
assigned block. THUS, the other guy is wrong by definition).
Many folks suggested 'arp -a' as informative. Thanks. I did that a bit
and to my surprise after my machine (cyclops) hung, I see in a nearby machine
cyclops (128.158.10.97) at 2:60:8c:4a:3e:d1
Note the enet number of the OTHER guy (but with my IN# and name)!
Before the machine hung, that line had MY enet number.
I talked to the network mgmt group here and they were able to confirm
the enet number I gave them was active on the net and they are trying
to physically track it down (Large NASA center here). Until then, I
may switch IN's to get some work done, but will pursue the offender
for his/her edification. [BTW - consensus from those that knew said
that the 2:60:8c was a 3com board in a PC, probably]
