I have come across something rather unusual. I have a computer at home
with Windows NT Server connected to the internet via a cable modem and
I maintain a nearly 24 hour pptp connection to a computer at my office
(600 miles away). Thus, I have two different ip addresses, one assigned
with DHCP for the cable modem and the other from the virtual private
network connection.
Every few minutes, the router at the office logs an ICMP message of 3/13
from a server on my local cable network addressed to the ip address from
the vpn connection. Thus, it appears that my computer is broadcasting
some local tcp/ip traffic using the vpn connection ip address.
Does anyone have any idea what kind of traffic I might be transmitting
that is being administratively prohibited by the local network?
