So am I mistaken in thinking that while this behavior continues it eats
up some of my bandwidth? My TD light is often SOLID green for hours or
more. Yes, I realize that this could be downloading, but my firewall
says differently.
Additionally, there are folks on my particular segment that are sending
Ripv1 packets as well as broadcasting ipp printers. Although
broadcasting ipp printers isn't a big deal....800 frames over a 30
second timeslice for this seems a bit high.
There are times when I can't even get a dhcp address because of all the
traffic.
There is even someone sending packets from a source address of
192.168.1.1....must be a misconfigured linksys box or maybe someone
trying to hack?
Are there any steps that can be taken by myself or others to reduce this
kind of "noise"?
Mike
