Re: Firewall log with port 65535 question



Anyway it is a network-multicast-address ..
this could be any shareware-program for Window$

you could fetch them with tcpdump -w <filename> proto igmp
or something like that ..

i could be a problem with routing on your box too ..
but i would go for the first possibility ..
