the problem was with the interphase board not handling multicast
packets correctly.  djh@munnari.oz.au suggested this may be the
problem, and it was.  i talked with interphase, and they were already
hot onto the problem, and had a solution for me within a couple of
days.

the solution was to install version 2.1.2 of the NC software, and then
install the 2.1.2.p1 patch that fixes the multicast problem.  NC 2.1.2
requires SunOS 4.1.2 or 4.1.3.  i installed the software successfully
on a 4/690 running SunOS 4.1.2 and the cap software started working.
we have a 4/490 running 4.1.1 that i need to upgrade before being able
to put the new NC software on.

to get the new software for your interphase board, you can contact
interphase at 1-800-FAST-NET.
