Sorry for replying to myself, but although I don't fully understand what was going on I seem to have made the problem stop.

I was getting several of these packets per minute so I think it's fair to conclude that the problem has been solved. So it seems pretty certain that the fault was with the router somehow. My guess is that the router started sporadically NAT-ing packets again, giving them it's old/default NAT'd internal IP address 192.168.254.254. I suppose it's worth noting (for the benefit of others who might experience similar problems) that the Model 5861 BT-branded ADSL routers that British Telecom install when you subscribe to their ADSL service can go spontaneously wonky in this particular way. cheers Julian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.ljchurch.co.uk _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
