My syslog is filling up with the following messages. If i shutdown samba
the messages cease.


Dec 17 08:48:24 rn-release kernel: 172.21.159.77 sent an invalid ICMP type
3, code 3 error to a broadcast: 172.21.255.255 on eth0
Dec 17 08:52:33 rn-release kernel: 172.21.159.77 sent an invalid ICMP type
3, code 3 error to a broadcast: 172.21.255.255 on eth0

Any ideas where to start looking? These broadcasts happen about every 2-4
minutes.
