Michael - many thanks for the help - that did the trick. Just one question, is there any danger to having these two rules at the top of my firewall rules list? (See bottom of my note for output of "ipchains -nvL"
For those of you who come across the same problem, this is what I did... I redid my SILENT DENY entry in network.conf with just the one rule and it now looks like this: ########################################################### #Ignored Traffic: ########################################################### SILENT_DENY="17_10.40.32.1_68" ########################################################### I then exited out of lrcfg and created a new file using ae (you can also use vi) called "ipchains.input" in /etc with the following: ############################################################# # Ignored Traffic: IGMP Broadcasts from Road Runner ############################################################# $IPCH -I input -j DENY -p 2 -s 0/0 -d 224.0.0.1 -i $EXTERN_IF ############################################################# # END OF FILE ############################################################# After that, I went back into lrcfg and did a partial back up of the /etc package and rebooted. You should check the /etc folder to make sure that ipchains.input file is there after reboot or just take a look at your now cleaner syslogs. That's it... For Michael - Output of "ipchains -nvL" (also, I am not sure why I am blocking 66.26.39.63 or how that rule got there, but not a big deal...): Chain input (policy DENY: 3 packets, 883 bytes): pkts

Consider this: SILENT_DENY="17_10.40.32.1_68 all_224.0.0.0/4" However, this is not all of your problem ;> Notice the format for SILENT_DENY: Format: protocol_srcip[/mask][_dstport] `srcip' means, literally, source ip address -- you have used the _destination_ address for your second instantiation. Unfortunately, SILENT_DENY cannot, yet, deal with destinations. You are going to need to use the constructs that immediately follow in /etc/network.conf: IPCH_IN=/etc/ipchains.input IPCH_FWD=/etc/ipchains.forward IPCH_OUT=/etc/ipchains.output Actually, since the errors that you want to ignore are both input entries; so, you will need to create a /etc/ipchains.input -- and backup when you are done. You might want to be specific, like the following, or broaden the protocol to `all' and/or broaden the destination to 224.0.0.0/4: $IPCH -I input -j DENY -p 2 -s 0/0 -d 224.0.0.1 -i $EXTERN_IF hth -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 888.250.3987 Dare to fix things before they break . . .
