This is exactly what happened to me when I got my copy of SCO UNIX 3.2.0 and
tried to connect to my XENIX 386 system with TCP/IP.  The update to ODT 1.0
(UNIX 3.2.1) fixed it.  SCO said that it was a problem with the 3.2.0 TCP/IP
that was fixed in 3.2.1.  

There are PD Ethernet monitors
such as Netwatch that will tell you what traffic is going on between the
two systems (Netwatch is part of CMU PC/IP).

Also, I don't think 1.0.0 is the most recent XENIX TCP/IP.  I know that
there were at least two updates to the original product.
