Re: Wayyy too many spoofed packets

Sorry if I misunderstand you, but you're saying it's normal for packets
coming IN from the network to have my IP?  See, that's my concern, not
broadcasts.

Netmask and broadcast match what you said:
/sbin/ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:DA:0C:04:6E
          inet addr:172.19.2.200  Bcast:172.19.255.255  Mask:255.255.0.0

Again, I'm only concerned about spoofed packets; packets coming from the
outside in claiming to have my IP.

So is this normal?

by default has a netmask of 255.255.0.0 and a broadcast address of
172.19.255.255.

Perhaps even more strangely is I'm seeing it only on SMB (UDP 137:138)
