Hi everyone!

I'm seeing some "PROTO=ICMP" messages in my shorwall logs since four or
five days ago, and I wonder what they can be.
I have Bering 1.2
connected between my ADSL modem and my internal LAN. The internal
router's IP is 192.168.1.254, and the only computer I have connected to
the network at the moment is 192.168.1.250, runing Mandrake 9.1. The
Bering box i floppy-based and the floppy is write-protected.


        I get lots of this "PROTO=ICMP" from external addresses, but what
worries me, is that it looks like I'm getting these from my Bering box!
Here are the messages I get, as copied from weblet (sorry they lost
formatting).

After this they keep coming every hour and 20 minutes.

Any ideas? I'm grateful for any directions, pointers, suggestions.


Well, they all are TYPE=0, which is Echo Reply, that is, a response to a ping. Is some app on your Mandrake host pinging the router for some reason? I assume you have your Shorewall setup configured to block ping replies, though I don't know why you would do that for the LAN.
