What's the source IP on the one you think is your cable modem? I don't *think* any models generate traffic on thier own, but I can check that... Some @home users may also want to add these two lines somewhere convienent where it'll get run every start (I have mine in /etc/ipmasq/rules/I05crapfilter.def) $IPTABLES -A INPUT -j REJECT -s 24.0.0.203 -d 0.0.0.0/0 $IPTABLES -A INPUT -j REJECT -s 24.0.94.130 -d 0.0.0.0/0 If you want to know why, host or nslookup the sources. -- Baloo
