Because we don't filter for them. Perhaps we should. This is probably caused by people explicitly setting their addresses to these; I don't know why they would do that, but perhaps they misread ifconfig (for example, things like webcams sometimes use reserved addresses). It might be worth looking further into this, as I thought we DID filter them... > > -Klaus -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
