I don't remember pinging myself, but I guess I could have.

Besides ping what else goes over ICMP. The reason I was looking at this, is that in the log there were 
numerous ICMP packets from last night and early morning. They also don't match the 0.0 and 0.8 you 
described from ping.

ipfw: 3100 Accept ICMP:3.3 207.240.212.43 207.240.140.102 out via tun0

Any place I could read about ICMP packets? A search in google found mostly info from a list archive. I 
will go over those messages tonight..
