When a host sends an icmp packet, it typically appends a bit of the packet that caused the error. The message you have is from an ICMP Destination Unreachable error with an incomplete TCP header tacked on to the end of it. Perfectly normal, nothing to worry about, etc. -- Scottie Shore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again." -- F. P. Jones
