Hello Tim, Basically, your ISP supports multicast which is a good thing. (Most ISPs don't support multicast even if you wanted the service) If you DO want to support multicast, you need to allow this 224.0.0.0/4 address range through your firewall. Id you DON'T want to support multicast and don't want to see the firewall hits, you should ignore these packets (judging from your example, you are running IPCHAINs): /sbin/ipchains -A input -j DROP -i $EXTIF 224.0.0.0/4 -d $EXTIP --David >After setting up ipmasq, I constantly get bombarded with these >messages.. > >Jun 22 20:09:16 xxx kernel: Packet log: input DENY ppp0 PROTO=2 >191.xxx.5.155:65535 224.0.0.1:65535 L=28 S=0x00 I=19216 F=0x0000 T=1 >(#9) > >Why am I receiving packets destined for multicast address? how to stop >it? Is this a bug? .----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | David A.
