Hello, My desktop computer, running fedora 8, software firewall on, selinux on, dynamic dns, my ip adress is 98.203.6.135, ron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is connected directly to Comcast via a cable modem. I recently changed modems due to an electrical storm. I noticed the new modems pc activity light blinks continuously. This did not happen with the old modem. I read an article about tcp dump and tried # /usr/sbin/tcpdump -nS > tcpdump.log Here is part of tcpdump.log: 08:15:47.984724 arp who-has 71.206.79.141 tell 71.206.76.1 08:15:47.985081 arp who-has 98.203.1.140 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.160197 arp who-has 76.110.184.13 tell 76.110.184.1 08:15:48.208245 arp who-has 66.229.170.141 tell 66.229.170.1 08:15:48.280100 arp who-has 98.203.0.91 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.280552 arp who-has 98.203.0.92 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.280868 arp who-has 98.203.0.93 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.281164 arp who-has 98.203.0.94 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.281591 arp who-has 98.203.0.95 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.281998 arp who-has 98.203.0.96 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.282696 arp who-has 98.203.0.97 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.283852 arp who-has 98.203.0.99 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.284338 arp who-has 98.203.0.100 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.285053 arp who-has 98.203.0.101 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.285399 arp who-has 98.203.2.181 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.285699 arp who-has 98.203.0.102 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.286154 arp who-has 98.203.0.103 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.287382 arp who-has 98.203.0.105 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.287780 arp who-has 98.203.0.106 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.289626 arp who-has 98.203.0.109 tell 98.203.0.1 08:15:48.292039 arp who-has 65.34.210.47 tell 65.34.210.1 08:15:48.492036 arp who-has 76.110.191.29 tell 76.110.184.1 08:15:48.513075 arp who-has 66.229.170.86 tell 66.229.170.1 08:15:48.513366 IP 98.203.6.135.33433 > 68.87.74.162.domain: 63866+ PTR? 86.170.229.66.in-addr.arpa.
