Subjectwhy broadcast on *.0 (network) addresses ?
why do I get 

64 bytes from 134.2.170.66: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.4 ms (DUP!)

when I run

ping 134.2.170.0

on another PC in the same network ? please not the broadcast setup below!
ping to `134.2.170.255' are broadcasts, but what about packages sent to `134.2.170.0' ?

this happens with both 2.0 and 2.2 kernel.
network setup for the pinged host (all PCs with same setup in one class C network) :

eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:05:37:B9:B2
inet addr:134.2.170.66 Bcast:134.2.170.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:2982215 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0
TX packets:3738433 errors:3 dropped:0 overruns:2
Interrupt:10 Base address:0x7c80


thanks for any pointer,

Harald
