I'm getting ICMP Destination Unreachable alerts in SNORT from a dial
up user.  It seems the original destination IP is to x.x.255.255
(x.x. being the first two octets of our range).  The router is
filtering these packets (hence why I get the ICMP destination
unreachable).  My question is, is this a misconfigured box? If so,
what is misconfigured?  Is this a compromised box?

Any ideas? Do you need additional information?

Thank You,
