2nd post (previous attempt was reformatted, courtesy of Microsoft Exchange)
Description: Fixes problem with external loopback, using crossed route entries. Version: 2.0.36 Testing: Connected two NICs together, using an extenal cross-over cable, swapped route entries (to force packets out the opposite interfaces), and then issued pings to both addreseses. Unplugged cable to verify pings were appropriately halted. Request: Please CC bmoyle@redcreek.com with any comments/feedback. Thanks!
