hello Maarten,
"Martian source" means the kernel received a packet that, according to routing table / netmask, cannot legally arrive there. This would happen, for instance, if you configured your network for 192.168.x.x and a packet claiming to be from 10.x.x.x arrived there, etc. Thus; a sanity-check.
[...]
So, the message reads something like: "Unexpected, illegal packet claiming to be from 195.222.110.11 destined for 195.222.110.255 detected on eth0."
thank you very much for your mail. This was very helpfull. It kind of makes sense now. 195.222.110.11_ is my IP if you add one more digit.
As far as I understand this, there was a problem with an outgoing packet? Strange!
I'm not sure, I don't know your network-setup. It could be someone is / was trying to do nasty stuff, but it could also be some misconfiguration or a hardware-glitch, or whatever. To find out more we'd need more info, like routingtables, the topology of your network / lan / whatever it is that you have, etc. But I'd prefer it -if you want to find out more- if you post that to the list, not private mail, so others may contribute too. Anyhow, glad to be of help, Cheers, Maarten
