More oshare testing.

[lordvadr () POBOX COM (C.J. Oster)]

While testing the oshare attack a little more, I have found something that
you may find interresting.  Here at the university, many people are
running the same installation of windows, ie off of the same cd, same
patches, etc.  The differences in behavior seem to be due to the type of
network card installed in the machine.  Here is a VERY small list.

win95 is broken and bluescreens all the time.

win98 with the following network cards...

LinkSys ISA (ne2000 chipset):   Spontaneous Reboot.
LinkSys PCI (ne2000):           Blue Screen
3c509 (ISA):                    Blue Screen
3c590 (PCI):                    Some Blue Screens, others Hang
3c905 (PCI):                    Hangs until packets stop comming, then
                                complete wakup.

I wasn't able to test macs because we have so few here, but the two I did
test either froze completly or had no effect.  Results were not
consistent.

So the question now is "Is oshare a hardware driver problem and not a
winsock bug?"
