hi,
From: Gary Counsellor [mailto:sineigs@eskimo.com]
I have been seeing this since I started SFW2 and conect via ppp. Not sure why it's there, tried looking for clues as to why, who but found nothing meaningful. Figured it might be me and my isp (Well, I gotta think of something)
this is most likely your isp, because 224.0.0.1 is the address for IGMP, a multicast routing protocol. have a look at /etc/rc.config.d/firewall2-custom.rc.config, line 26 onward: #example: allow incoming multicast packets for any routing protocol iptables -A INPUT -j ACCEPT -d 224.0.0.0/24 it's nothing to worry about, if you don't have routing protocols enabled.
Usually I just copy error messages into google and find what I need to know but that didn't work this time. Any suggestions? I'd be happy just to stop seeing it reported but stopping it entirely, if feasible, would be cool also.
SuSE-FW-UNAUTHORIZED-TARGET IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=209.244.43.100 DST=224.0.0.1 LEN=28 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=1 ID=24643 PROTO=2
i asked google about DST=224.0.0.1 and got this link (first page): http://lists.debian.org/debian-firewall/2001/debian-firewall-200108/msg00056 .html
Thanks for the help,
you're welcome :)
