My setup:
FreeBSD4.4-RELEASE connected to a cablemodem via rl0
rl1 is connected to a HUB and 2 clients
And the machine acts as a firewall/NAT config

Yesterday my internet connection was dead, the cablemodem was acting
strange(the lights) and I did a power recycle on the modem, nothing happend,
same results.
After that I found this in my log:

It is very strange and i do not understand what may have happend here. Was
it a error by my ISP or was it a intrusion attempt?

After this i killed my dhclient and started it up again, assigning me my
original ip address. And everything was fine.
But I would like to know what happend here. Anyone have some ideas??
I would like to hear them!

Sincerly
Stef
