I know that this is an ICMP packet, but what kind is it? I've got about 75 of these things coming in, and I'd like to know what they are. TIA Geordon Ok, here is the IPChains log bit: May 9 22:50:29 moat kernel: Packet log: input REJECT eth0 PROTO=1 [remoteIP]:12 [localIP]:0 L=56 S=0x00 I=2630 F=0x0000 T=28 (#71)

ICMP type 12 is defined as 'Parameter Problem' According to Robert Ziegler, in "Linux Firewalls" (www.newriders.com): "ICMP type 12, Parameter problem, is sent when a packet is received containing illegal or unexpected data in the header, or when a header checksum doesn't match the checksum generated by the receiving machine" -- Rick Green "I have the heart of a little child, and the brain of a genius. ... and I keep them in a jar under my bed"
