Re: ICMP Error Message?
ICMP is a message control and error-reporting protocol between a host
server and a gateway to the Internet.
ICMP uses Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams, but the messages are processed
by the IP software and are not directly apparent to the application user.

Does your kernel have ICMP installed??
If so is yor box a server with routing or squid installed??
If not, run deselect and remove ICMP.
If your network is ethernet, ICMP will get upset cause its looking to
resolve every IP address and collision (which are many) on the network.
