These problem is connected in some way with Samba, cause after I stop it the messages dissaper You can disable the message by doing echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/log_martians you can also use Powertweak or sysctlconfig-gtk or add "net/ipv4/conf/eth0/log_martians=0" to the /etc/sysctl.conf file to make this permanent. This option stops the message about a "funny" packet being received by your network card. ("martian" => funny enough to be from the planet Mars) This can possibly be caused by a machine with a defective network card on the network. This message in itself is harmless, but if you experience other network problems as well, you (or your network admin) should find the defective card. |
