Thanks for that Avi. As soon as your first line mentioned zeroconf, bells 
started to ring in my head. Zeroconf has caused me problems before, and I'd 
purged from the system.

I stopped the avahi daemon, followed by an ifdown, and ifup, and the messages 
have stopped. I then disabled it with sysv-rc-conf.

Thats one annoying problem resolved, that's been around for a while.

Many thanks.

Nigel.
