You will have to do some snooping on the type of traffic to identify the source.
Please use ethereal and iptraf to analyse the type of traffic, source port, destination port, transport layer protocol in use (UDP/ TCP/ etc), link layer (ARP/ RARP etc), application layer protocol in use (NMB etc), that will provide a hint to the reason and orignator of the traffic. Some possible reason is NMB master browser selection polls in windogs machines, too many ARP requests, some other type of broadcasts, misbehaving h/w, viruses Some possible solutions, use a switch inplace of a hub, do some subnetting (physically seperate networks), use smaller subnets for your local lan (use a number of class C networks inplace of one big class A or class B network, connect them using multiple interfaces with your gateway, add a few more nic cards to the gateway if you cant afford a router) Blocking ports may be considerd but once you know what the problem is. > Hi all, > > I am using a Fedora Code 3 system as my gateway server.
