<cut> Hello Frank, If you are connected to the internet with a 3com networkcard shipped with your @Home connection, you are very lucky, because there's a patch available in the newsgroup athome.nl.linux which cancle broadcast traffic on your networkcard. Believe it or not: you won't see any broadcast traffic anymore. That's the only solution I found so far.
So until @home manages to stop the broadcasts from this individual I like not to log these packets. I guess it starts something like
Cable Internet is a shared medium, not a point to point connection like internet by modem/isdn/etc. @Home won't stop broadcasters. A solution for your firewall, change IPCHAINS -F input -l to IPCHAINS -F input It stops logging incoming traffic what means you can turn on your syslogd again. Greetz, Siert
