Re: problems with NetBT

So both physical segments use one and the same IP address, right?

Not sure whether or why that would make any sense, but anyway...

Both NICs have their own MAC address, right? So which MAC address does
your IM's virtual adapter present to NDIS and thus to ARP?

What is the result of the "ARP -a" command?

I guess ARP is the problem. You can probably solve the problem by
implementing "proxy ARP" (RFC 1027, e.g.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1027.txt), but I am not sure if it's
actually worth worrying about.

I am also pretty sure there is another, easier, and probably more
standard conforming solution for your concern.
