It responds to broadcast pings, but doesn't resend them to the ethernet so others can
respond.
It doesn't allow udp broadcast packets (such as smb network neighborhood scans) onto the
ethernet.
very inconvenient. Anyone recognize this problem, or do I need to go into details?

(I changed the near side of the ppp link to a different IP just to see if that was an
issue it was .104 before).
