To Summarize:
First of all I would like to thank all that responded, the problem only
occurs when the Winterms are in the same subnet as my servers.
The network admins will be setting up a new subnet specifically for the
Winterms, which will result in no broadcast errors received by the UNIX
servers,
this is why I do not see any errors from the other division, their Winterms
are not in the same subnet as my UNIX servers.
thank you all.
