This sounds like the computer at <IP address> is broadcasting bad

1. AFAIK, these message will only appear on the startup console
so try using a different console screen. Use ctrl-alt-<F2 to F6>

2. Check if console logging has been turned on in /etc/syslog.conf.
It is off by default in most distros.
