just to cut that 1.1.1.1: packets like trumpet etc. make 1.1.1.1 the default before negotiation. If a dial up user gets on a PPP port where his address is not negotiated, but accepted, the (trumpet, winsocks etc) default wil lkick in. That's where 1.1.1. comes from: a dial in port is improperly configured to accept the offered dial-up customer address, instead of negotiating it. Most comservers I know have the flag 'negotiated' for PPP adress and should sit there. Next config error is then to accept incoming routes from PPP connections and to propagate them through the network, even over to other peers. This does not occur with the other frequent default of 0.0.0.0 since most braindamaged equipment 'thnks' subnet 0 is 'unusable'. 1.1.1.1 only shows up if something is not configured right on the provider side.

My portmaster's ethernet address was in that packet(i.e. 1.1.1.1) so I'm surprised. > > What gives? > > ============================== > > Kevin Sears > Systems & Network Support Tech > OnLine Center > GE Medical Systems > PO Box 414, m/s-W595 > Milwaukee, WI 53201 > Internet: [email protected] > Voice: 414-524-5160 > FAX: 414-524-5305 > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael F.
