I am running diald on a small network at home ( 2xwin98 + 1 linux
gateway ) on 192.168.x.x LAN and a dynamic IP over PPP to the internet.

IPMasquerading is setup ipfwadm -a m -s192.168.0.0/16 -d0/0

If I display the packet queue from dctrl while the link is up, I see ...
interesting traffic.
As I (probably mis-)understand the display, it shows the following
information:

(tcp/udp) sourceip/port destip/port time-remaining

The interesting lines show addresses for both source and dest that are
outside the LAN.
The "source" in many cases is yahoo port 80.  The other address I
haven't been able to pin down.

The only theory I have is that dctrl is showing me reply packets from
yahoo/80 to the dynamic IP assigned to me by my ISP.
Can anyone confirm/deny/explain this.

Thanks in advance.

PS.  Please respond to both my e-mail address and the list as I'm unsure
if I'm receiving the list properly.
