Any ideas? The only other thing that I saw which may be related was a large group of IP addresses (~ 250), none of which belong to our network, connected to the inside (local) network interface card (no arp hw address). Strange but the next time I ran "netstat -r" all the references to these IP addresses had disappeared and so had the error! Could this be someone running a scan/probing tool on the network?
