According to RFC792 the type 11 record is a "Time Exceeded Message" record. This can be a time to live exceeded, or a fragment reassembly time exceeded. My guess would be the first. This message is generated by your router. You may be specifying the wrong IP for your default gateway, or something like that. I wonder if there is a way to get the router to tell you why it sent the type 11 record?

In fact, the first message comes when booting up and after the Binding to the NIS domain message. Is this just a nuisance message then? Should I suspress it in /etc/sysctl.conf?
