Dear All Just installed a new SuSE 7.1 machine and installed the updates as well. The machine was disconnected from the network when I installed it. I'm getting an unusual message on the console which says..... Packet log: output DENY ippp0 PROTO=17 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: 61417 194.247.47.47 L=78 S=0x00 I=36552 F=0x4000 T=63 (#5) Both the 61417 and the 36552 numbers rise all of the time to the next one and then drop back down to another one. Also getting ........ IP_MASQ: lp_fw_masquerade(): change masq.addr from xxx.xxx.xxx.xx to xxx..xxx.xxxx.xx. Both these addresses are on this machine. One of them is eth0 and the other is the address of the machine. Seen this on every SuSE 7.1 machine that I've installed. Anyone know what to do about it ? Thanks -- Richard
