You may have someone on your network scanning for other pcs, eg a kazaa client
Also check if your net card is in promiscuous mode or not.
do ifconfig to read the setup information.
Do you have a net monitor running, eg arpwatch, nessus?

in 1 pc i running ethereal, but after the errors... for check the traffic....


Thanks

So it looks like just the emule scanning traffic when it first starts up, randomly trying every possible ip number..
Lots of network traffic..
Once they have learnt the local network, they tend to be quiet..

I'll have a look and see if there are any /proc settings that will allow you to ignore them safely..

jamiguel77 01-28-2005 02:00 PM

emule and arp....
 
ok i wait:
I'll have a look and see if there are any /proc settings that will allow you to ignore them safely..



how block emule, kazza ????
iptables?


thanks

Just wanted to note that I've had the same problems recently. Only one PC on the LAN but it sometimes is running emule, which could account for the large network traffic.

Then again, it has also happened with emule turned off :confused:
