Re: Invalid ICMP error messages

2004-02-26 Thread Mark
Dear Cam Ellison, I get a similar problem when I startup samba on 
Debian.  Did you ever figure out what was causing the problem.

172.20.2.84 sent an invalid ICMP type 11, code 0 error to a broadcast:  
172.20.255.255 on eth0

This happens with several different IP addresses.

Sincerely,

I'm trying to drop these  according to the destination address, which
is the last address in my ISP's block.  All sending addresses appear
to be within that block.  

They started to appear during the boot sequence, and if I go to a
terminal (that is, tty1,2,..., not xterm) they flood the display.
I'm sure I turned something on with my last kernel compilation.  Does
anyone have an idea about how to turn this off?

2.4.1 showed this sometimes,
but now at 2.4.2 I am getting this at regular intervals
can anyone tell me what this means?

x.x.x.x sent an invalid ICMP error to a broadcast?

the ip is a remote computer, a gateway or something?

and/or how to fix this?

It's some other broken computer. You can ignore it with 'echo 1 
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ignore_broken_error_responses' - in fact,
there's a line in the default /etc/sysctl.conf that you can uncomment to
cause this to be set at boot-time.

Hmm, should be in the procps package; it seems to be there on a 2.2 box

or the ignore_broken file :/

Sorry, typo on my part. I meant 'echo 1

address sends invalid ICMP error to a broadcast . . . ?

2000-03-07 Thread John G. Norman

Hi.

I'm getting the following error on my linux box (debian, potato) connected 
to MediaOne via a cable modem--


24.147.237.100 sent an invalid ICMP error to a broadcast.

Where are these coming from? They happen with two addresses about every 
five minutes. Are these other people on the net with funny configs? Or up 
to no good?


Thanks for any information.

Re: ICMP error

1999-11-26 Thread Sebastian Canagaratna
VTorres inquired about error messages involved  invalid ICMP
error... Colin Wilson has given a useful solution. I got this
error too, but I traced this to the nmb daemon ( nmbd ) in the
samba suite.  When I run the daemon ( in potato; I believe I did
not get this in slink ) I got this error from one machine.  I find
it difficult to believe the error is in this one machine, since there
are other unic machines on our network which do not seem to give this
error. I believe there must the something wrong with the nmbd or how
we are confguring.  Any same experts out there who would care to
comment?

I recently had this problem with a misconfigured printer on our network.
Turned out that the subnet mask was improperly set. Once that was fixed,
the messages stopped.

ip addr sent an invalid ICMP error to a broadcast

1999-01-28 Thread Ralf G. R. Bergs
Hi,

since I upgraded our server machine to kernel 2.2.0 I periodically (every 3 
mins.) get the following error or warning message:

ip addr sent an invalid ICMP error to a broadcast

Does anyone know what this means? I guess the machine whose IP address is 
mentioned is misconfigured? Anyway, before I upgraded I did NOT have this error 
message in my logs

Thanks,

Ralf

A machine has told your machine a different route to go through, but it
isn't allowed to do this to a broadcast packet.  Check that the netmask on
the router and your machine match (use ifconfig).  If they do then either
ignore it or complain :-)

At work I get so many of these messages I comment out the offending printk
in /usr/local/src/linux/net/ipv4/icmp.c
