If i remember well this could have something to do with nic's from different brands on the same switch, apparently on very rare occassions these can get entangled in some really weird stuff and generate such occurency

The 30,000 is a standard load, but the trillion packets seem to be a bit high. I've scanned for spyware and viruses and found nothing. I tried to nMapWin from the network, and the computer didn't respond, and when he tried to nMapWin his ports, he couldn't find himself, from his own computer. Do you have any idea what could be causing this? I'm not to keen on these packets flying around my network, and if there are security issues, I'm even less keen.
