I sit idle and my network lights keep flashing, I did a packet capture and found this.

Standard 4-port Linksys Router/Switch connected to my computer, so what is happening? This low-end model doesn't support SNMP. Help. Port unreachable? How can I stop it?

Device 192.168.1.1 is sending SNMP traps to device .100, but Device 100 isnt listening for SNMP packets, and thus sends back a ICMP reject packet (port unreachable).
 
Just a little update, I haven't noticed it as of late. I'll keep my eyes open. Thanks guys.
 
Is logging enabled? Try disabling it. I once accidently set the logging to send to ip 192.168.1.255 (broadcast domain) on a network of 20 computers :rolleyes:. Talk about brining the netowrk to its knees :p
