Just been looking through the logs before I attached them.

There doesn't appear to be much networking stuff in the log file (I have two bridged adapters one using the PCnet-FAST III and one the Intel 82540EM). The only thing I can see different is this entry is missing in the 6.0.x logs:
00:00:00.727676 [/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/] (level 5)
00:00:00.727682   SharedMacOnWire      <integer> = 0x0000000000000001 (1)

Can you try the latest test build, r128070 or later?

I can confirm that 6.0.1-r128072 on macOS resolves this problem.

That would be great 'Samuele' because both Andy and 'PThorn' that also observed the problem, said it was fixed...
