Thanks, I thought I had put this information in. We have two network cards. One with public IP a block of 16. The other is an internal network on 198.60.2.0/24.
Considering the rest of your email, I'm guessing this was a typo
Yes, It should have been 198.168.2.0/24. The public IP has a 198.60.X.X address.
They have machines coming up and down. They use all the IP's in this block at one time or an other. This machine is 192.168.2.85 and the MS win 2003 server is 192.168.2.35. I do not remember the exact address. All have the same netmask which should exclude this 192.168.30.32 address.
I guess so too, since if the netmask included that IP, it wouldn't be a martian
The stupid MS server is spewing out this even though it should not. The MS Admin says he does not know what on his server is giving this error to the linux box.
Something on that machine obviously thinks it has that address. Is it running some sort of virtual machine perhaps, like Vmware? If so, then perhaps it's misconfigured. I've seen it happen, when the guest OS (with a fake vmware-private IP) suddenly gets direct access to the LAN
The MS Admin says that it is only running W 2003 Server.
I do not know else to sugest. All I know is the mac address coresponds to the MS Server.
The quickest way would be to run a network trace, for example ethereal, until you've captured a few of these packets. Then you can see what it's trying to do, and that should give some idea about what's going on
That is what I have been trying to do. I do not see any real clue as what is sending it.
They have over 200 machines on and off at any one time. All the internal machines use the same wiring on this internal network. The MS addmin may not really know what he is talking about. They did have a Novell Network on this wiring as well. He thinks that everything is a MS Network. As they replaced the Novell Network with MS after the Novell announcement.
Which announcement was that?
About no further NetWare development and what appeared to be lack of
direction. They bought the MS line about Novell abandoning Netware. I
did not really listen to all their rantings. I feel lucky to have gotten
a SUSE Linux in to replace the UnixWare box. The MS reps... have been
really lobbying them. Lucky my Reputation and things I provide convinced
them to not use MS for their web, email, and business presence. They are
using Interchange, combined with php for their online book store.
Thanks,
