The attachment (trace) came through just fine. It was smaller then
some people's email signatures. ;)

I looked through the trace and do not see any communications to those
phones at all.  That's likely because you ran ethereal on a different
system then asterisk is running on, and the NetGear switch that you
are using only passes broadcast packets (expected).

Try it again, but this time run ethereal on your asterisk box. If that
box has two nic interfaces, when starting the capture choose the nic
interface that has the phones on it. It might take an extra attempt
or two, but you should be able to "see" the IP addresses of your
phones in that ethereal display.

If the trace becomes rather large, just email it directly to me so
we don't impact the asterisk list.
