hello, I recentrly upgraded my kernel to 2.4.2, I have two network card on
my debian 2.2 system, and I am using ip_forwarding for a local subnet.

before I updated to 2.4.1 I never saw this message,
2.4.1 showed this sometimes,
but now at 2.4.2 I am getting this at regular intervals
can anyone tell me what this means?

x.x.x.x sent an invalid ICMP error to a broadcast?

the ip is a remote computer, a gateway or something?

and/or how to fix this?

thanks in advance
Ari Sigurðsson
