 DG> Thats an indicator that it is a 2+ packet right?

yes...

 DG> So does that mean my MBSE is not handling it correctly?

i see only that it is reporting and apparently using the 65535 net address
field and not pulling the true net address from the secondary field... i'm
curious to see what others of the MBSE community have to say... something
tells me this is a known problem that is being worked on but i do not know
what the status of that work is... i think andrew was working in this
area...

 DG> I recall somewhere a config about 4d packets, need to look for that,
 DG> perhaps that is the problem?

i do not know... i have not (yet) installed and played with MBSE...

 ml>> i was able to go back through my mail archive and find some posts
 ml>> about the above document... draft 4 is available at
 ml>> http://bbsdev.net/fsp/FSP-1040.txt and i think it is the last
 ml>> draft... the details i speak of above are found in the notes portion
 ml>> of the document's section "3. Type 2+ Packet"... the
first paragraph
 ml>> in that notes section explains why net 65535 is being seen in these
 ml>> PKTs and how to properly handle it...

 DG> Awesome, I'll take a look.

 DG> Thanks...

you are welcome...
