Jonathan, I really don't have a clue what that message is, but I'll see your weird error message and raise you one. I get these from my router box. eth1 is on the inside. I believe they correspond to a flash of the activity light on my ADSL modem. They may have something to do with IPv6 which I have no understanding of.

I have seen the same error in mine. It seems to be caused by a weak signal (I have a cable modem). It is caused by having the extra kernal security turned on. I turned mine off and no more "martians". -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://home.beseen.com/churches/joe_morris
