I see them *ALL* the time on my : network, and I've learned to ignore them. :( We have 204.144.255.xxx netblock from our ISP. Every time a new user would join our ISP, or every time that a new Win95 machine would be added to the network, we'd get boatloads of traffic from it. seems like it was a common bug to have 204.144.x.x be the network (eg use a 255.255.0.0 netmask).... We filter them all out, and used to send hate mail when we saw them. We no longer have a filter dropped report, so we no longer send hate mail :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
