That discussion was about an IP address of zero. If you are seeing a MAC
address of zero, that would be a different situation. If I recall correctly,
we once had a problem with a system where the battery holding the ram that
contained the MAC address has died. The system tried to use a MAC address
of zero, which caused problems. I forget now the exact problems caused.
