Greetings

Has anyone ever seen this before?

I have two WBEL installations. One is a server with apache, php, samba, and
mysql. This one has no gui. The other is a standard workstation install with
a default setup. Both have been updated.

The server screeen fills up with warnings similar to the following. I got
these out of /var/log/messages

Mar 28 13:03:14 localhost kernel: 192.168.1.106 sent an invalid ICMP type
11, code 0 error to a broadcast: 192.168.1.255 on eth0

I checked the log on the workstation, and it has similar warnings, but they
are not so frequent.

I am puzzled.
