    Found it.... it was the agent for Promise Fasttrack RAID. It broadcasts on
    the network to find other RAID cards on the network. Not an impact on the
    network, they say. And since my firewall is blocking them, I'm not worried.

    Thanks anyway!

    First i would suggest you block any packets coming from the external
    interface with valid internal IPs
      
      iptables -A INPUT -i eth? -p all -s 192.168.0.0/16 -j LOG
    --log-prefix "spoof: "
      iptables -A INPUT -i eth? -p all -s 192.168.0.0/16 -j DROP
      
      if still having the same problems, suggest review your net topology
    (maybe blocking broadcast)
      
      t+

    Cheia de dente, esperando a morte chegar
    Porque longo das cercas embandeiradas
    Que separam quintais
    No cume calmo do meu olho que vê
    Assenta a sombra sonora
    Dum disco voador...
