I have asked this before, and they have gone away. But now they are back.

This even happens in safe mode. I've checked for viruses, and ran spyware checks, but these things wont go away, and they are flooding my network.

those are MOST LIKELY ping packets, though they could be another part of the icmp suite.

i would isolate the machine that is producing these. your firewall is configured to lock these going outbound, and a rule is catching them. you could have a bot installed on your comptuer to offer ping floods for a DoS attack on someone, or it could be a chatty program running on your PC which needs constant reassurance that it has aconnection to whatevertheheck.

here is the result from some whois's

noticing a pattern?
 
i read your post again...


and now i am finding it odd that destination unreachable packets are STARTING from your lan and heading back to the wan... this is opposite of what is normal, unless you have some sort of service and port forwarding to that internal address.

mind giving some more backround on that machine?
