are they always to one ip, or does it vary? " My IP is x.x.226.32 - same subnet as the gateway otherwise. " " So what is protocol "ospf"? open shortest path first, a routing path discovery tool. routers speak it to each other, to build up their routing tables. for you to get them makes no sense, as a ppp link is almost by definition to a leaf node. do you perchance have a routing daemon running? " I started getting a bunch of these (thousands per hour, but not " significant bandwidth) about a week ago and it continues " to this day. My ISP is investigating, but it would help if " I could tell them what this is, or even speculate... i'd speculate it's a misconfigured router... ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen [EMAIL PROTECTED] and think what none thought
