I am considering this. If thats the case then it is probably netbios. On a network of windows machines that would acount for the large ammount of those messages to appear, I hate netbios and I want that crap off this lan, but im making some progress in getting this client to start disabling netbios on the machines. I also see in the src though that this message comes from lack of buffer space so I increased it in a new kernel, and well see if it helps, if it does then it is buffer space, if it doesnt then its probably the netbios trash. Either way it seems harmless since all normal traffic is getting in and out fine. So well see. Thanks for the tip though.
