My unix syslog is filling up with the following error:
Jan 25 13:14:37 unixserv bootpd[7224]: IP address not found: 192.168.2.197

That's the IP address of my WinNT4.0 box.
DHCP is not running on NT, everything has been assigned static IPs. I tried setting up WINS on NT, but still the notices pile up. I noticed the sonic wall soho firewall appliance is also getting errors for the same address, Saying a UDP packet has been dropped from the NTbox address. What's going on here?

It sounds like you are also running DNS on and have configured the forwarding incorrectly. The DNS server should never receive packets from itself. Check your forwarding configuration in DNS.

Thank you for your answer, but here is what I found. The Remote Access Autodial manager was was causing the problem. Since I don't use any remote access, there's no problem just disabling that service. However, If I ever do need it, I'll have to figure out how to deal with it.

Thanks Again!
